Roll the dough strip into a rope about the thickness of your finger, being careful not to over roll it.

Take both ends of the dough strip and hold it in the air to form a U-shape, keeping your left hand still.

With your right hand, twist the ends around the imaginary pole to form the pretzel shape.
