Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour , plus extra for working the dough
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons ice-cold water (you may need a bit more)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil (like coconut), divided
1 teaspoon salt
guava paste cut into 8 sticks
¼ pound queso de freír cut into 8 sticks (see notes)
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon milk (whole or skim)

Instructions

Mix baking baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour, add water and 3 tablespoons of oil, and mix well. Work with your hands on a lightly-floured surface until everything is well mixed, don't knead the dough (add some flour to the dough is it is too sticky, a bit of water if it is too dry).
Let dough rest for ten minutes covered in plastic film.
Heat the oven to 350 ºC [175 ºC].
On a lightly-floured surface roll out the dough as thin as possible and cut into eight 4" x 4" [10 x 10 cm] squares. Wrap a stick of cheese and a stick of guava paste in each square, seal the edges with a bit of water.
Grease a baking tray with the remaining oil.
Mix the yolk and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the pockets with the egg wash. Place them on the tray and bake until they turn golden brown (15-20 minutes).
Serve warm.

Notes

Use haloumi if you don't have queso de freír.
