How to Reheat Soft Pretzels - Uncle Henry's Pretzel Bakery? ›

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle a small amount of water over the pretzel so that the pretzel is moist but not soggy. Wrap your pretzel in aluminum foil and place it in the oven for five minutes.

Here are our suggestions for reheating your pretzel: Conventional Oven/Toaster Oven: Preheat oven to 400°. If pretzel is frozen, allow it to thaw. Wrap pretzel in foil and bake approximately 3 minutes.

Reheating instructions: Conventional/Toaster Oven: Preheat oven to 200°C; allow pretzels to thaw; wrap in foil and bake for 3 minutes. Microwave Oven: Allow pretzels to thaw; microwave approximately 10–15 seconds on a medium setting; repeat as necessary.

Individually Wrapped: Wrap each pretzel in plastic wrap to protect against dry air. Room Temperature for Short-Term: Store them in an airtight container at room temperature if enjoying within a couple of days. Refrigerate for a Little Longer: Wrapped pretzels can be refrigerated for up to a week.

Microwave Directions:

Microwave on high for 30 seconds or until desired quality is reached.

If you have extra pretzels, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. When you're ready to reheat them, I recommend popping the leftover soft pretzels back in the air fryer at 320 degrees F for 2-3 minutes until hot and crispy.

Try wrapping in foil gently and heating in a toaster oven until warmed through. Actually, you can make your pretzel as nice as it was when purchased fresh. First set it on a piece of tin foil large enough to completely wrap it. Second, add about 1 table spoon of water per pretzel then wrap as tightly as possible.

Purchase a ceramic bread warmer at a kitchen supply store or online. Heat the warmer in the microwave for about a minute and place it in a basket using an oven mitt. Cover the bread warmer with a clean dish cloth and place your warm pretzels on top of it to serve.

All those pretzels are made and twisted on the spot.

Auntie Anne's definitely doesn't serve pre-made pretzels! Every location receives shipments of the signature flour mixture, which is put in a mixer along with water and yeast. They're baked, brushed with real butter, salted and served right there.

Store Leftover Pretzels

You can store them at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 1 month. For a warm, soft pretzel, reheat them in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes, or for 10-12 minutes if frozen.

Why do soft pretzels get wet? ›

Pretzel products naturally have moisture in them and that moisture causes the pretzel salt to melt. While the pretzel is perfectly safe to eat and will retain the salted flavor, this melting will cause the pretzel product to appear wrinkled and may get a slightly wet feel to it.

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle a small amount of water over the pretzel so that the pretzel is moist but not soggy. Wrap your pretzel in aluminum foil and place it in the oven for five minutes.

Like bagels, pretzels are made in boiling water prior to baking to give them their snappy outsides and chewy insides (messy!). Soft pretzels must be boiled, or dipped in a baking soda bath (or lye if you're gusty and strict with your pretzel traditions). THEN, they can be baked.

Bake them for 5 minutes, then remove them from the oven and let them cool. Serve pretzels with a ceramic bread warmer.
