Start kneading the dough and fold up to 6-8 times.
Flatten the dough and cut strings (about 3 cm width).
Start wrapping with one tip of the cheese. Then, gently wrap the rest of the cheese overlapping the string of dough while you cover the entire cheese. Make sure to cover well (to avoid a mess when you fry them).
