Warm the water and milk until lukewarm. The liquids should be just warm to the touch so the yeast can activate properly. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, and mix to combine. Pour in the yeast mixture, then add the butter. Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little water to prevent it from becoming too dry.
Place the dough in a warm place, covered, and let it rest for 1 hour, or until 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 baking, 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 baked, let them cool slightly. Melt the dark chocolate and fill the pretzels. Use a small piping bag for precise application.
Serve the dark chocolate pretzels fresh and enjoy the perfect combination of chocolate and soft dough.
