Our Unique Process

From the initial mix to the moment they’re ready to enjoy, every Plum Creek Soft Pretzel undergoes a special journey:

1. Dough Preparation

Our journey begins with a carefully balanced dough, made from quality ingredients, and mixed until it’s just right. We use flour that comes only from the best part of the wheat grain, which lays the groundwork for our soft pretzels’ unmistakable texture. This dough rises to create the soft, airy foundation of our pretzels.

2. Handcrafted Twists

Skilled hands then shape this dough into a classic double-twist soft pretzel; each twist and turn designed to capture our signature flavors.

3. Innovative Baking Soda Spray

Next, a fine mist of baking soda solution is sprayed over each soft pretzel, ensuring an even coat that promotes the perfect texture and a deep golden color upon baking.

4. Baking to Golden Perfection

In the oven, the magic happens. Our pretzels bake until they achieve that iconic golden-brown color, with a delicious contrast between the crispy outside and the soft, warm inside.

5. The Butter Waterfall

After baking, our pretzels pass through a luxurious cascade of all natural, melted butter, enriching them with flavor.

6. Flash Freezing for Freshness

Once out of the oven and cooled, our soft pretzels are quickly flash-frozen. This crucial step locks in the freshness, ensuring that each soft pretzel is as delicious as the moment it was baked. It allows our soft pretzels to be enjoyed at their peak when they’re reheated.

7. Ready for Enjoyment

The result is a soft pretzel that’s rich in tradition and taste, ready to be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. Just heat, serve, and savor the authentic flavor of beautiful southeastern Pennsylvania, brought to you by Plum Creek.
