If necessary, sift more flour into a bowl so that the dough is denser and does not stick much to your hands, but do not clog the dough with flour. Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film and leave it for about 15-20 minutes.

To the grated cheese, add 1 chicken egg, salt to taste and 1 tsp. dried garlic. Adjust the amount of salt depending on how salty the cheese is in the filling.

7. In the middle of the rolled cakes, lay out half the cheese filling. Collect all the edges of the dough in a bag and pinch well. Turn the tortilla upside down and roll it with a rolling pin about the diameter of the pan so that the cheese is well distributed inside the tortilla.
