- Divide the dough into 4 parts. Form a ball from each part, then use a rolling pin to roll out a crust with a diameter of 15 cm. Brush the crusts on both sides with oil and let them stand for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, place the cheese on a plate and crush it with a fork.
- Then, place a tablecloth on the table. Stretch a large thin crust on the tablecloth. Remove the edges of the crust with a knife.
- Sprinkle the crust with oil and spread the cheese on it. Using the tablecloth, roll the crust into a roll, then roll it into a snail shape. Repeat the process with all the crusts. Place the crusts prepared in this way in a previously greased pan. Spray the crusts with a little oil again and place the pan in a preheated oven at 250 degrees.
- Bake the prepared homemade cheese spread for 20 to 25 minutes, until it gets a nice golden color. Remove the baked spread from the oven, cover it with a kitchen towel and let it cool briefly.
