For each filling, roll out 1/4 of dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12 inch square. With a sharp knife, cut in half to make 2 six inch wide strips. Brush lightly with oil, Spoon filling down center of each strip, dividing evenly. Bring one side of pastry over filling, then roll to enclose filling completely. Pinch ends together. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet, seam side down. Score with a blunt edge of knife at 1 inch intervals, do not cut through. Brush with egg yolk mixture.
