HG Dough Tips: To prevent the dough from sticking, lightly dust your hands and work surface with flour. Before assembling the pretzel bites, refrigerate dough for at least 5 minutes. It’s even easier to work with if you make the dough a day in advance.
Oven Alternative: Bake at 400ºF until light golden brown and cooked through, 14–16 minutes.
