Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and milk with a dough hook to form a yeast dough. Chill the dough for about 2 hours. Cut the cold butter into thin slices. Roll the yeast dough out into a rectangle, arrange slices of butter on top, and fold the dough over. Then roll it out and repeat the process until the butter is fully incorporated into the dough. Roll it out and fold it over again. Do not knead the dough together under any circumstances. This should resemble puff pastry. Once all the butter is incorporated, place the dough in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion out into a rectangle, roughly the size of a baking sheet. Then roll up one long side to the middle, then the other side. (Similar to pig’s ears) Shape the dough into a circle and tie the ends together. Let it rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the pretzels one at a time for about 30 minutes until golden brown. It’s best to put a cup of water in the oven with it for extra crispiness. It tastes best fresh.
