Lavender Pretzels
Lavender pretzels are a special sweet treat that combines the refreshing, spicy flavor of lavender with the softness of yeast dough. Lavender not only perfumes the pretzel but also gives it a unique flavor, which becomes truly special with the caramelized sugar on top. Imagine the aroma of freshly baked lavender pretzels filling the kitchen, while the warm aromas of lavender and baked sugar embrace you. This sweet treat is the perfect choice for an afternoon tea, but it is also ideal as a gift if you want to prepare something special. The special aroma of lavender, which we find in the cake, is the best way to make everyday life more beautiful with a little magic.

Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, crumble in the yeast, add one teaspoon of sugar, and let it proof for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the proofed yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
3
Add the dried lavender to the dough and knead well to distribute the lavender evenly.
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 of the pretzels.
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 aroma of lavender and the sweet sugar create a perfect combination.
