Preparation Steps
1
Start by finely chopping or crushing the oregano, then set it aside for later use.
2
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 sit for 5-10 minutes to proof.
3
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, and mix well. Pour in the yeast mixture, then add the olive oil. Knead the dough well until it becomes smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little water to prevent it from becoming 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
While the dough is rising, toast the oregano in a dry skillet to release its essential oils, then set aside to cool.
6
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a work surface and divide it into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into long ropes, then shape them into pretzels.
7
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.
8
Bake the pretzels for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
9
When done, let them cool slightly, then serve warm. Perfect with a cup of fresh tea or as an afternoon snack.
