Brezen (singular brezel or breze) are a common baked food in Germany, especially the southern part. It is related to the American pretzel, with which it shares its form and the salty taste. However unlike the hard and small pretzel, a breze is about 15cm wide, with a soft inside and a crunchy outside. Also available, especially at festivities like the Oktoberfest is the "Riesenbreze" (giant pretzel), roughly 30 by 25 cm, usually consumed with Hendl or Beer.
Brezen are eaten for breakfast and as a snack.
