Covrigi (Romanian pronunciation:[koˈvridʒʲ]) are Romanian baked goods similar topretzels. They consist of saltedbread topped withpoppy seeds,sesame seeds or large salt grains. They do not usually contain any added sweeteners such as sugar.

Covrigi is the plural form of theRomanian wordcovrig.[1] The wordkovrig is a loanword from the Old Bulgariankovrigъ.[1][2][3] Cognate words are found in other Slavic languages, e.g.Russiankovriga (коврига) meaning "round bread" orkorovai.[2] TheOld East Slavickovriga is mentioned in thePrimary Chronicle under year 1074.[2][4] Its ultimate etymological origin is uncertain.[2]

Covrigi are a popular snack food in urban areas of Romania and also as a holiday gift in rural areas. The city ofBuzău is known in Romania for its covrigi.

Although legend has it that covrigi were introduced by Greek merchants toBuzău in the 19th century to increase consumption of their wine,[5] their similarity to German pretzels and tosfințișori, another Romanian pastry, suggest a much earlier origin.
