Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk, crumble in the yeast, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it proof for 10 minutes.
2
In a bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Add the proofed yeast, egg, and melted butter. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
3
Pit and finely chop the dates. Add them to the dough and knead well to incorporate.
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
Bake the pretzels in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let the pretzels cool on a wire rack before serving. The sweet taste of dates and caramelized sugar creates a perfect combination.
