Martin's Handmade Sourdough Pretzels

Producer: Martin's Pretzels (Moira , NY)

Ingredients: Flour, Water, Sourdough Starter (flour, water), Salt, Yeast

Four Simple Ingredients
Our pretzels begin with a simple—and secret—sourdough recipe of flour, water, yeast, and salt. We source our ingredients from small farms in the Northeast

Hand Rolled & Twisted
The uneven hand pressure and distinct twisting create our signature finished texture: a pretzel with varied density, and an endlessly varied eating experience, with which no machine-made pretzel can compete. 

Stone Hearth Baked
Once rolled and twisted, Martin’s pretzels are briefly boiled in water and soda—which creates the distinctive and deep pretzel-brown crust—then salted by hand before lining up in pairs on wooden peels, where they meet the rotating deck of a 550-degree stone-lined oven for about ten minutes.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

Martin’s Handmade Pretzels is a fourth-generation family-owned bakery based in Moira, New York, with roots dating back to 1935. Each pretzel is made using the family’s traditional sourdough recipe, then hand-rolled, twisted, and baked in a stone-hearth oven. Made with simple ingredients and no preservatives, Martin’s continues to produce its pretzels in small batches while carrying on a nearly 90-year-old family tradition in Upstate New York.
