Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Pretzel Bites
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Roll each piece into a ball.
