Are you looking for appetizers for an aperitif? Try the Hungarian pretzels


Hungarian pretzels

Crumbly and tasty, Hungarian pretzels are savory biscuits that are ideal for serving as an aperitif even on the most important occasions.

Crumbly and tasty, Hungarian pretzels are a sort of savory biscuit to be served as an appetizer or aperitif. The dough is similar to that of shortcrust pastry with the only difference that it is enriched with almonds and Parmesan. Like the sweet equivalent, however, it requires a rest time in the refrigerator before being spread out.

Hungarian pretzels are cut with pastry rings of different shapes and then decorated with sesame and poppy seeds but also paprika and grated cheese. As for the shape instead, green light to the imagination and the occasion: for the holidays there is nothing more Christmas than a few trees!
