Pretzels have been around for over 1,000 years, originating in Europe as a simple bread made from wheat and water. They were initially used as a reward for children who learned their prayers, hence the name "pretzel" from the Latin "pretiolum," meaning little reward. Who knew these tasty treats had such a rich history?
Fast forward to today, and pretzels are enjoyed worldwide in various forms, from soft and buttery to hard and crunchy. But, for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, the traditional pretzel is off-limits. That's where gluten-free pretzels come to the rescue, made with ingredients like rice flour or almond flour.
