Rolo Pretzel Bites

Food Dictionary

The pretzel was apparently invented by a very frugal monk 1400 years ago in a monastery in Southern France.

The monk started by twisting the scraps of leftover dough into shapes like a folded arms in prayer. At first, they were called pretiola, Latin, meaning little rewards as they are given to children who learned their prayers. It was also called brachiola, meaning little arms. When this little arms reached Germany and Austria, it became known as bretzel or pretzel, as they are more popularly known today.
