Oktoberfest Pretzel Rolls

Having grown up in a German household, I love Oktoberfest and all the food that comes with it. No event, including football Sundays, is complete without these amazing pretzels. They are so versatile. You can shape them into rolls to accommodate a sausage or twist them into pretzels for the kids. I know you will love these as much as my family and I do!

Oktoberfest Pretzel Rolls

Why it works: Wheat and flaxseed share more aroma than cooks usually use. They rank in the top 3% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 68 recipes. Both carry 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, which smells clove, smoky. The science ↓
