One legend holds that a baker accused of larceny was offered the opportunity to cancel his sentence if he could make a piece of bread through which the sun could be seen thrice; the ingenious baker twisted his dough into a Brezel before baking. Another common story says that the shape represents the position of arms of a monk in prayer and that the three holes represent the Christian Holy Trinity. A sign with three rings was an old symbol to mark a bakery in Germany, but sources differ as to whether the signs were made to imitate the Brezel l or the Brezel was made to imitate the signs. According to some sources, the bagel originated as a variation on the Brezel. However, stories told of the pretzel are likely apocryphal, and the actual origin of the Brezel shape seems to be a mystery. |
