Flour the work surface, then gently pat the dough into a rectangle 20cm by 13cm. Cut into 8 squares, then cut each in half to make 2 triangles. Put on a baking sheet, brush with more milk and scatter over the rest of the cheese and another pinch of paprika. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until risen and golden.
