Preparation Steps
1
Begin by peeling the garlic and mincing it finely or crushing it with a garlic press.
2
Warm the water and milk until lukewarm. The liquid should be just warm to the touch to activate the yeast properly. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
3
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, and mix. Pour in the yeast mixture, then add the butter. Knead the dough well until it is smooth and elastic. If needed, add a little extra water to prevent it from being too dry.
4
Place the dough in a warm place, covered, and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5
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.
6
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.
7
Bake the pretzels for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
8
Once done, let them cool slightly. Meanwhile, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the warm pretzels and serve.
