Begin by finely chopping the fresh dill and set it aside for later use.
Warm the water and milk until lukewarm. The liquid should be lukewarm to allow the yeast to activate properly. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, and mix. Pour in the yeast mixture, then add the olive oil. Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little water to prevent it from becoming too dry.
Let the dough rest in a warm place, covered, 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. Shape each piece into long ropes, then shape them into pretzels.
Place the pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Before placing them in the oven, brush them with a little water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the pretzels for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Once done, let them cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with fresh dill.
