Start with a pre-shaped and rested piece of pretzel dough.

Roll out the pretzel dough while keeping a bulge in the middle.

The bulge will be where you sprinkle salt and score the pretzel.

Overlap your hands and roll the dough out, pressing down with fingers and palms on the work surface and pushing outward.

Ensure an even taper from the bulge to the ends of the dough.

Continue rolling until you have a long cylinder about 18 inches in length.

Drape the dough in front of you with the bulge side away from you.

Cross the arms of the dough twice.

Fold down the ends and gently press.
