About Sigmund's

“...the very best soft pretzels in the United States.”

- Martha Stewart, Martha Stewart Living 2016

INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED 5 oz cheddar black pepper 24/cs - Sigmund's Pretzels

"Ms. Kulchinsky’s pretzels are yeasty, blistered and fresh ...one of a few places where New Yorkers can now buy a real soft pretzel, mahogany brown on the outside, with plenty of loft and pull. Flavor and perfume come from a traditional baking method, not from a bath of melted butter.”

-Julia Moskin, New York Times 2011

How We Do It

Bake Sale Special. 24 Original Soft Pretzels. Free Local Shipment..

We start with cold fermentation.

Flour, water, oil, salt, sugar, and yeast are gently mixed and left to ferment for 72 hours. This slow process develops complex flavors and creates the perfect texture. Each pretzel is then hand-shaped and dipped in a sodium hydroxide.

We add big flavors.

Before baking, pretzels are topped with cheeses, herbs, spices, and specialty salts. From classic everything seasoning to innovative combinations like rosemary parmesan or anything with truffle.

We ship nationwide with UPS.

Long fermentation helps keep pretzels soft for days without preservatives. We ship fresh pretzels nationwide using insulated packaging and freezer packs to maintain quality during transit.

How We Started 

Sigmund’s Pretzels was founded in 2009 by chef and owner Lina Kulchinsky. 

 

Before opening Sigmund's, Lina attended the NYC's Institute of Culinary Education and worked in  Jean-Georges and Bouley, New York's top fine dining restaurant. 


Inspired by New York's bakeries  and  New Yorker's love affair with soft pretzels Lina set out to bring back beautiful,  chewy and  flavorful  pretzels worthy of the Big Apple.


Lina lives in Brooklyn, a 10 minutes walk from the bakery with her husband, 2 kids, and a Boston terrier, Pepe.
