Hoosier Hill FarmCoarse Pretzel Salt, 5LB (Pack of 1)

Perfectly balanced taste for my homemade pretzels!

We made pretzels for the first time for our friends’ Octoberfest Party. After searching the interwebs for recipes and tips, I discovered a fairly common theme that kosher salt and sea salt melt on pretzels. This salt is the real deal! Our pretzels were delicious and a huge hit - in large part because of the crunchy salt. It tastes great and looks great! And if you are looking for a great recipe, check out Alton Browns recipe! He uses baking soda instead of lye, and the results were fantastic!

Perfect for homemade pretzels

This is a review for the Hoosier Hill Farm Coarse Pretzel Salt, 2 lbs. After reading reviews about different brands, this one seemed to be a winner, and as luck would have it, it was great! It came quickly and was packaged well. I have no other reason to use any other brand of salt for my pretzels. These by the way were my first ever pretzels and they turned out splendidly!! (If I say so myself) I have enough pretzel salt to use on my pretzels for the next 10 years now.. LOL

Man, i love a soft pretzel. I made them once at home but used normal kosher salt; the result was disappointing. For my second attempt I was determined to use actual pretzel salt. No local stores carry it (this is LA, why not?) so I was forced to choose between a comically large 5-lb or 2-lb container on Amazon. I chose the 2-lb container simply because it would take up less pantry space. Making soft pretzels at home is somewhat of an undertaking, but when the urge for a soft pretzel strikes, it helps to have the right salt. The pretzels were great, ant the salt was just right; tasted like the ones at the mall.My only mistake was thinking I could put the leftovers in a ziploc bag and save them for later. No. The salt dissolved. Next time, if I have leftover pretzels, I will moisten and then salt them right before eating.

Works great and tastes like the store/mall pretzels now. The only strange thing and why I rated four stars is that it dissolves when on the pretzels if they sit overnight. When I used kosher salt this didn’t happen. Guess that’s why it tastes better and is more tender. Just make sure you make them same day you need them or figure out how to make it stay in tact if you need them next day.

For some reason pretzel salt was difficult to find in any type of grocer- neighborhood or upscale specialty. Thanks Hoosier Hill! This is exactly what I was looking for; and the 5 lb container was sorta huge for my needs (all in-home snacking), but should last a good long while. It’s an excellent product, and although my dough is quite awesome your salt is a proud finish. Together they make a beautiful pretzel, and fun to enjoy. Prompt and efficient arrival was also a plus. Thank you.

Perfect! My husband makes a soft pretzel every night for a snack. Let’s just say he uses way to much salt. What a great value and the salt size is just perfect, not to small or over sized.
