Mix flour, butter (lard), salt, yeast and milk and make a dough on a table.

Let it rest for one hour.

In the meantime, prepare two flat baking dishes and cover them with baking paper.

Separate the dough to have four smaller ones and roll one using rolling pin to have flat surface approx. 0,8 inch thick.

In a little bowl, mix egg with water to prepare egg wash.

Cut the pretzels' shapes and lay them to the baking dish.

Egg wash them and garnish with seeds to taste (sesame, flax, sunflower …)

Bake at 195 C / 383 F, for 15 minutes.

While first round is baking, prepare the second dish, cutting the pretzels using the second dough.

Repeat the process until the dough completely used.
