6 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk -- divided
4 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour -- sifted, or more as needed

This is a traditional New Year treat in Germany. It brings luck when
it's the first thing you eat in the New Year. Germans typically eat
it with butter spread on it. Rather than a salty pretzel, this is a
lightly sweet dough

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 390F (199C). 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.
