Classic Soft Pretzel with Sea Salt - Authentic Bakery Style #3656758 (License: Personal Use)

This high-resolution image features a traditional soft pretzel with a rich amber-brown crust, achieved through alkaline lye or baking soda dip before baking. The pretzel’s iconic knot shape is well-defined, with visible texture and scattered coarse salt crystals adding visual contrast and flavor hint. Its glossy sheen suggests a tender, chewy interior ideal for dipping or eating plain.
