Preparation Steps
1
Begin by thoroughly washing the rosemary and finely chopping it. Set aside for later use.
2
Warm the water and milk until lukewarm. The liquid should be lukewarm, as too hot water will kill the yeast. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
3
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.
4
Let the dough rest in a warm place, covered, for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
5
While the dough is rising, toast the rosemary 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 strands, 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.
