Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

While the dough is rising, sauté the finely chopped onion in 1 tbsp of vegetable oil until softened. In a separate bowl, combine the flaked cooked fish, sautéed onion, chopped dill, and parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Punch down the risen dough. Divide it into two portions. Roll out one portion into a circle about 10-12 inches in diameter. Spread the fish mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
