Warm the water and milk until lukewarm. The liquid should be lukewarm to properly activate the yeast. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, and mix. Pour in the yeast mixture, then add the butter. Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more water to prevent it from becoming too dry.
Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a work surface and divide it into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, then shape them into pretzels.
Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Before putting them in the oven, brush them with a little water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the pretzels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
Once done, let them cool slightly. Chop the almonds finely and sprinkle them over the pretzels. If desired, you can lightly toast the chopped almonds beforehand.
Serve the almond pretzels fresh to enjoy the perfect combination of almonds and soft dough.
