In a mixing bowl, combine flour, fresh yeast, sugar, and salt.

Add lukewarm water and vegetable oil to the mixture and knead until a dough forms.

Let the dough rise until doubled in size.

Once risen, roll out the dough and cut it into squares or circles.

In another bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese with chopped green onions and egg whites to create the filling.

Place a portion of the filling on each piece of dough.

Fold the dough around the filling and shape it into a rose or roll.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with the egg wash (egg yolk mixed with milk or water).

Sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.
