In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients including flour, instant yeast, powdered sugar, and salt.

Divide the dough into portions, roll out each piece, brush with the greasing mixture, add the cheese filling, and shape into rolls or twists.
Place the shaped dough in baking trays, cover, and let it rise again until puffy.
Preheat the oven to a suitable baking temperature.
