This comes from a different company which also sells Pizza Dough mix but I thought if anyone has some of our pizza Dough and Roll mix:

1 package of pizza dough mix made per instructions
2 tbsp oil
4 cups water
2 tbsp. baking soda
2 tbsp Sea Salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Make dough per instructions. Divide into 12 equal pieces and roll into an 18" lengths. Cut each in half. Twist or shape into rods.
In large pot, add baking soda to 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Add pretzels to water a few at a time and boil for one minute. Remove pretzels and place on oiled Large Sheet Pan. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 12 minutes. Viola - pretzels!
