How it works

Here’s how your virtual soft pretzel-making event will work: Ahead of the event, each guest will receive a shipment directly to their door containing a shelf-stable soft pretzel baking kit. This thoughtfully packed kit includes all the essential ingredients in pre-measured portions, so no one needs to shop or prep in advance. On the day of the event, guests will join a live virtual session led by a friendly and experienced host, who will guide everyone step-by-step through the entire pretzel-making process. Together, you'll mix and knead the dough, let it rest briefly, then learn the classic twisting technique to form those signature pretzel shapes. From there, you’ll move on to the quick boiling step that gives pretzels their signature chewy texture, before popping them in the oven to bake to golden perfection. Along the way, the host will share tips, answer questions, and keep the energy light and fun, making this a memorable and engaging team-building experience from start to finish.
