Ingredients
-
6 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
-
1 cup lukewarm milk, divided
-
4 ½ tablespoons white sugar
-
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted, or more as needed
-
4 ½ tablespoons melted butter
-
1 egg
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 egg yolk
-
1 teaspoon white sugar, or as needed
Directions
-
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup milk in a bowl; add 4 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir yeast mixture and 2 1/4 cups flour together in a bowl until dough is dry and clumpy. Allow dough to rise for 15 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup milk, butter, egg, lemon zest, and salt to dough until evenly mixed.
-
Knead dough, adding more flour as needed, until dough is elastic. Cover bowl with a clean damp towel or plastic wrap and allow dough to rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
-
Preheat oven to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
-
Gently knead dough; roll into a long rope on the prepared baking sheet and twist into a pretzel shape. Cover dough with a clean towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for 15 minutes more.
-
Brush egg yolk over dough and sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over egg yolk.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
