I saw a video clip of a bakery in PR making quesitos. Pronounced (kay-see-toes). Is the dough a yeast dough? It had a cream cheese/sugar filling. It was baked, then brushed with a honey syrup. Sure looked good.

It took a second to search for this info. It's made with puff pastry and puff pastry does not have yeast in it.
