Unroll the refrigerated pretzel dough onto a clean surface. If the dough comes as a single sheet, use a knife or pizza cutter to cut it into 4 equal strips. If it's already pre-portioned, separate the 4 pieces.

Take one strip of dough and place one piece of honey goat cheese near one end. Carefully fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges firmly to seal it completely. Gently roll the dough around the cheese into a rope, ensuring the cheese remains fully enclosed.

Shape each dough rope into a classic pretzel shape. To do this, form a 'U' shape with the rope, then cross the ends over each other twice. Bring the ends down and press them firmly onto the bottom curve of the 'U' to secure the shape. Repeat for all 4 pretzels.
