The Best Temperature to Reheat Soft Pretzels
In this recipe, I used SuperPretzel Soft Pretzel. The company recommended reheating the pretzels in the oven at 400°F.
When reheating the pretzels in an air fryer, you need to reduce the temperature to 325°F. I think this is the best temperature to achieve that crispy crust yet maintain the softness inside.
