For the dough:
2/3 cup olive oil 

2 cups lukewarm milk
1 tbsp instant dry yeast
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
4-6 cups bread flour, sifted

For the filling:
2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1 cup chopped Kalamata Olives

For brushing:
2 egg yolks

Directions

In a large bowl, mix the yeast with milk and sugar, and set aside for 5 minutes.

Add in the oil, salt and sift in the the flour and baking powder.

Knead until soft and fluffy dough. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.

On a clean surface, sprinkle flour and divide the dough into balls (size of large mandarin)

Lightly press each ball and place a full spoon of crumbled feta-olive mixture on each circle and fold the dough, creating a stick.

Place them on a baking sheet.

After filling the pan, cover it with a clean kitchen towel for 10 minutes. Brush with egg and bake at 180 degrees until golden.
