Pretzel rolls are similar to pretzels in that they have a salty brown crust but that's pretty much where the similarity ends. Don't expect the crunch of salty pretzel snacks; the rolls are more similar to the giant pretzels available as street food worldwide, but even then, they're not the same, and they don't have a traditional shape. They have a tender-but-firm crumb that is perfect for sandwiches, soup, salad, spreads, or as is with a bit of butter. If salt is an issue for you, use less but definitely don't skip it. Salt is what gives these tasty rolls their wonderful flavor and, while regular table salt can be used, coarse salts and those with a little color like red hawaiian sea salt really put these over the top.
