Start by activating the yeast in a bowl.

In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of red rose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add 2 ounces of oil to the flour mixture.

Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of water, adjusting as necessary for consistency.

Knead the dough for about 20 minutes until soft and manageable.

Divide the dough into two pieces for layering.

Let the dough pieces rise for 15-20 minutes, covered with oil and a cloth.

Flatten the dough and prepare it for filling.

For the cheese filling, crush cheese and spread it evenly on the dough.

Roll the dough with cheese into a log shape.

For the sweet version, roll out the dough and sprinkle sugar instead of cheese.

Shape the sweet dough into an oblong form for the pie plate.
