Sprinkle the dough with flour and cover with parchment paper. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Using your hands, spread the dough out very thin. Spread 1/4 of the filling onto one third of the dough, leaving a one inch border. Holding the parchment paper, roll up the dough like a jelly roll, brushing oil across the top a couple of times as you roll. Using the side of your hand like a knife, divided the roll into 2-inch knishes. pinch the open ends shut. Repeat procedure with remaining balls and dough. Place the knishes, flat side down, 2 inches apart, on a greased baking sheet. The knishes will need to be baked in batches. Brush the knishes with the egg wash. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Place the knishes on a platter and garnish with Essence and parsley.

What is Essence?

Photo? Video? Confusing directions, especially with parchment instructions.
David Faulkner
Some pictures to illustrate the process would be very helpful. The directions are so confusing, they are impossible to follow. Even a picture of the finished product would be a big help. I am sure that the finished product would be delicious if I could figure out what I take one third of and what to take one fourth of why how all the proportions and fractions fit together.

This recipe is just what I was looking for! Delicious prepared as written and equally tasty with the addition of spinach and mushrooms. Essence or no Essence, an all around great recipe!
