Preheat the oven to 450.
Line 2 baking sheets pans with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil.
Lightly oil a cutting board and turn out the dough
Divide the dough into 8 pieces.
Roll out each piece of dough into a 2 foot rope.
Flip ends of the rope across each other and press onto the bottom of the U in order to form the shape of a pretzel. Place onto the baking sheets.
