Mix 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.
2. Preheat
Heat the oven to 350 ºC [175 ºC].
3. Making rolls
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.
4. Bake
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).
5. Serving
Serve warm (let it cool for 5 minutes before eating!).
