Baldie or Baldy (pretzel without salt) A pretzel without added salt is called a âbaldieâ (occasionally spelled âbaldy). âBaldyâ pretzel is cited in print from 1955. The Anderson Pretzel Bakery (Lancaster, PA) filed a trademark for âbaldiesâ with a âdate of first useâ of 1959. Snyderâs of Hanover (PA) has sold âbaldieâ pretzels to supermarkets since the 1980s.
My first impressions upon biting in were: Serious crunch and serious salt. In terms of texture, the name was also for real: They were unique â the crunch was just different, as it was a strong crunch but the pretzels also had some lightness to them. As far as the split part goes, I looked and actually didn't even notice it at first. A close look revealed that the outer shell of the pretzel was split open in many places along the top edge. The exposed interior had browned as well, so the split part didn't really stand out, but I think that's what delivered the nice texture.
