I am a Murtaler - Lenten pretzel

  • 1 minutes of reading time
The end of the funny and colourful carnival season always brings a crunchy, salty treat in the Murtal. The lenten pretzel heralds the period of abstinence between carnival and Easter. Although the term fasting is an exaggeration here, the pretzel is a treat that both young and old look forward to every year.

Wheat flour, caraway seeds, yeast, salt and love are the basis of the Murtal fasting pretzel. Popular as a snack between meals, it accompanies many Murtalers to school, kindergarten and work. Light and savoury, it is a popular alternative to the full-bodied, rich doughnut.

The pretzel is a well-rounded product that is at its best as an accompaniment to a snack, as a welcome snack and for dipping in spreads.

 

Erlebnisregion Murtal: "What connects you to the Murtal?"
Fastenbreze: "Just like the Murtal, I'm really down-to-earth, unagitated and people like me because I am who I am."

Erlebnisregion Murtal: "When do you feel your heart beating in the Murtal?"
Fastenbreze: "I feel the palpitations most when children play with me. They like my round shape and I really am a great snack."

Erlebnisregion Murtal: "Where is your favourite place in the Murtal?"
Fastenbreze: "I can't say exactly where my favourite place is. I like travelling all over the region. Starting from my mountainous home in the Pölstal, right across the Murtal basin to Knittelfeld."
