Let's discover together the necessary steps to prepare them, so you can achieve a perfect result! Ingredients: - 100 g of butter - 250 ml of milk - 25 g of fresh yeast - 500 g of white flour - 100 g of sugar - 1 egg (for brushing) - A pinch of salt - Sugar crystals (for decoration) Instructions: 1. Melting the fat: Start by melting the butter in a small pot. Add the milk and mix well. Heat the mixture until it reaches a temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius, which is body temperature. This is ideal for activating the yeast. 2. Activating the yeast: In a large bowl, crumble the fresh yeast. Add a few tablespoons of the warm butter and milk mixture and mix until the yeast is completely dissolved. It is important that the liquid is not too hot, as it could destroy the yeast. 3. Preparing the dough: Add the flour, sugar, and salt over the yeast mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients. Once the mixture becomes homogeneous, transfer it to a work surface and knead it for about 10 minutes. The dough should be elastic and slightly sticky. 4. Proofing the dough: Form a ball from the dough and place it in a bowl greased with a little oil. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until the volume doubles. 5. Shaping the pretzels: After the dough has risen, turn it out onto the work surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Each piece should be rolled into a rope about 60 cm long. Take your time to shape them into pretzels by bringing the two ends of the rope together and twisting them. 6. Second proofing: Place the pretzels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes. 7. Preparing for baking: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush each pretzel with the beaten egg. Sprinkle sugar crystals on top for a crunchy and sweet effect. 8. Baking: Bake the pretzels in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and fluffy. 9. Serving: Let them cool on a rack and enjoy their divine aroma. You can serve them plain or with melted chocolate glaze for an extra flavor boost. Practical tips: - For an extra flavor boost, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence or grated lemon zest to the dough. - If you prefer a healthier option, replace part of the flour with whole wheat flour. - These pretzels can be filled with jams or chocolate before baking for a sweet surprise! Sockerkringlor are pretzels that not only sweeten your day but also bring a smile to your face. With a simple recipe and the right ingredients, you will achieve a quick and delicious dessert, perfect for sharing with loved ones!
