For the starter, mix yeast, sugar, a little warm milk (max. 38°C), and a teaspoon of flour in a cup. Let stand in a warm place until it has doubled in volume. Sift the remaining flour into a bowl, add the salt, dough starter, egg, oil, and warm milk, and mix. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let stand in a warm place for about 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume. Meanwhile, mix the feta with the egg whites; this works well with a fork. Knead the dough and divide it into 5 equal parts. Form these into balls and flatten slightly. Then roll out into a circle a few millimeters thick and cut each into 8 triangles. Place some of the feta filling on the wide side of the dough triangle and roll into croissants. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the croissants as tightly as possible in a greased dish. Mix the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of milk, and brush the croissants with it. Baking time approx. 20 minutes.
