Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line two baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper. Punch the dough down several times. Divide dough into 24 equal pieces. Cover divided dough loosely with plastic wrap, to prevent it from drying out. Roll each piece out into a 6 inch log. (I used a non-floured surface).In a shallow bowl, whisk together baking soda and warm water then dunk each pretzel stick into water mixture and allow excess to drip off. Place on prepared baking sheet, score each stick 3 times and sprinkle with some salt. Repeat this process with remaining dough. Bake pretzels in preheated oven 7 - 11 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush top and bottom of pretzels with melted butter. Serve with and dipping sauces you like. We had ours with cheddar cheese sauce.
