  8. 5. Grate the cheese.

  9. 6. Stir the cheese into the flour mixture.

  10. 7. Using the palette knife, mix to form a smooth dough, adding a little cold water to help bind the mixture together.

  11. 8. Roll out, on a lightly floured surface, to form a rectangle about 0.5cm thick.

  12. 9. Trim away the edges and cut into think strips, about 1.5cm x 7cm, using the palette knife.

  15. 12. Allow to cool before transferring from the baking tray onto the cooling rack.

  16. Top tips Use the rolling pin like a ruler, to help you cut even strips. You may like to brush the cheese stick with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds before baking, but be aware of student allergies. Add mixed herbs, chilli flakes or a different type of cheese.
