Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk slightly, crumble in the yeast, add one teaspoon of sugar, and let it proof for 10 minutes.
2
In a bowl, combine the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Add the proofed yeast mixture, the egg, and the melted butter. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
3
Remove the pomegranate seeds from the pomegranate. Add the seeds to the dough and gently knead them in, being careful not to crush them.
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 and cinnamon. This will give the pretzels a delicious, spicy flavor and a beautiful golden-brown color.
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 and serve. The fresh taste of pomegranate and cinnamon sugar create a perfect pairing.
