The word “bracchiatus” (pronounced brah-kee-AH-tus) is the origin of the word pretzel. Meaning “with arms” in Latin, it describes the shape of a pretzel, which was introduced in the Middle Ages. The company name is a tribute to the history of the pretzel.

Bracchiatus Pretzels is a home-based business located in New York, in the New York City metropolitan area.

We offer four primary varieties of pretzels:

• Plain
• Cinnamon
• Cheese-filled
• Pretzel balls

Each of these varieties is available in white flour and whole wheat versions. We also offer peanut butter–filled pretzel balls and cinnamon pretzel balls, giving you a total of 12 options to choose from.

Each pretzel is made with the same basic ingredients: wheat flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and baking soda. The pretzels with toppings or fillings contain additional ingredients; please see the list in the description/additional information for each pretzel.

The whole wheat pretzels are made with a mix of half whole wheat flour and half white flour.

Each pretzel is made by hand in a home kitchen from simple, healthy ingredients. The dough is shaped into the traditional form of a pretzel, dipped into a baking soda bath to give it that well-known crust and flavor, and then baked, cooled, and packaged for delivery.

All of the pretzel varieties contain wheat flour (gluten). Some also contain milk, peanuts, and soy. Please check each pretzel’s allergen information in the relevant description/additional information section. Please note that since the pretzels are prepared in a home kitchen, cross-contamination may be unavoidable.

Salt is included in a separate bag with each order of plain pretzels or plain pretzel balls, which can be added before reheating and serving.

All of the pretzels are vegetarian.

All of the pretzels are vegan except for the cheese-filled options.

All of the ingredients are kosher, but the baking process is not supervised by a kosher-certifying agency.
