Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk and crumble the yeast into it. Add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it proof for 10 minutes.
2
In a bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, and the salt. Add the proofed yeast mixture, the egg, and the melted butter. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
3
Chop the chocolate into small pieces and add it to the dough. Finely chop the chili pepper and sprinkle it over the dough. Mix well to combine.
4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal portions and shape them into pretzel shapes.
6
Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them proof for another 15 minutes.
7
Brush the pretzels with beaten egg, then sprinkle with brown sugar. This will create a delicious caramelized layer on top.
8
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the pretzels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let the pretzels cool on a wire rack before serving. The spicy combination of chocolate and chili offers a truly unique flavor experience.
