If you want all the flavor of pretzels without any of the shaping hassles, then feel free to make dough pretzel bites. After rolling out the ropes, just cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1-inch long for each piece). When doing the baking soda bath, make sure to only use one slotted spoon/spatula's worth per batch so they don't end up being in the water for longer than 20 seconds. Bake for 12-14 minutes at 450ºF/230ºC.
