Cut the dough into two pieces and have a large counter and a rolling pin to spread the dough, sprinkle a little flour and spread evenly until the dough is thin, cut uniform strips, and with them line the cheese sticks very well, try to stretch the dough very well when lining the sticks and do not leave gaps so that the cheese does not escape.
