Then add in the baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, egg whites, and 6 cups of flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well incorporated, you may need to get your hands in there towards the end, and then place the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Put the dough in a large bowl, cover it, and let it stand for one hour.

Form the dough into a log and cut it into 5 or 6 equal pieces. Take one piece (cover the rest with a kitchen towel), and roll it out to a size as big as a medium pizza.

With a knife, cut the rolled out dough into 8 equal slices (as if you were cutting a pie). Place a tablespoon of feta cheese closer to the widest point of the slice. Beginning at the widest point of each slice start rolling it towards the narrowest point.
