Start by preparing the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Add the sugar to the warm water, then sprinkle in the yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast becomes foamy.
Next, pour the yeast mixture into the flour, then add the olive oil. Mix thoroughly, then knead the dough by hand or with a dough hook for about 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball, place it back in the bowl, and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Let it rest for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
When the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8-10 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, then shape them into pretzels.
Cut the smoked salmon into small pieces or strips.
Finely chop the dill and mix it with the salmon pieces.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil, then add the baking soda. Blanch the pretzels in this water for 1-2 minutes, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then sprinkle with the salmon and dill mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
Let the pretzels cool slightly, then serve. Enjoy!
