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.
The other day I was reading Jeffrey Hamelman's recent book Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes when I came across his pretzel recipe. His recipe requires a pate fermente overnight, a long fermentation, and a bath in a solution of water and lye, which means rubber gloves and goggles are required.
