Whole wheat flour adds fiber; cake flour is less expensive.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 egg and 1 cup of vegetable oil.

Add one bottle of sparkling water and mix with a whisk.

Add about 1 cup of flour, 1 packet of baking powder, 1 tbsp of citric acid, and 1 tsp of salt.

Knead the dough in the bowl, then on the counter for about 4-5 minutes until smooth and silky.

Divide the dough into four equal pieces and form into balls.

Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and let rest for about 30 minutes.

Roll out the first dough ball with a rolling pin, then continue with a dowel to make it thin.

Spread room temperature margarine or butter on the rolled-out dough.

Fold the dough and place it back in a dish to prevent drying out.

Repeat the rolling and folding process for the remaining dough balls, using plenty of shortening.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out the chilled dough thinly, sprinkling flour underneath to prevent sticking.

Cut the rolled dough with a pastry wheel.

Fill half with cheese and the other half with breakfast chocolate spread.

Mix egg yolks with a little vegetable oil and milk for topping, then brush it onto the pastries.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350-375°F until golden brown.
