Which yogurt to use? And fresh cheese?
I used whipped fresh cheese from Mercadona, there is the same at Lidl. You can use natural Greek yogurt or vanilla-flavored yogurt and remove the agave syrup since the yogurt is already sweet.
Can I use another flour?
Yes, any flour will work well. You can use spelt, whole wheat or white flour.
How can I substitute agave syrup?
You can use honey or another liquid sugar. If it's granulated sugar, the dough may get drier but it works.
