Cheesy fingers
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. You can make cheese fingers at home not only with mozzarella, as in this version, but with any other cheese of your choice. You can also use yeast dough if desired, which will make the fingers fluffier. They can be served with tea or coffee.

Step 1
1. This recipe for cheese fingers is an example of delicious quick baking. You need to thaw the dough slightly in advance, then roll it out on a floured surface. Carefully cut it into triangles of equal size. If you happen to have special croissant or finger-shaped dough on hand, it will save even more time on rolling.

2. Mozzarella sticks (if necessary) can be cut into 2-3 pieces (depending on the desired finger size). Mozzarella is used here for a reason. This cheese pairs perfectly with the dough and behaves excellently during baking. Of course, any other cheese suitable for cutting into medium-thick sticks will work as well.
