The plastic side of the paper should be facing up towards your dough and the paper side should be on the bottom. The plastic side will have nonstick properties when kneading or rolling out your dough. Another application that I use interchangeably with wax or freezer paper is using it as a cover in the microwave. The waxy side of both papers helps produce a moisture barrier between your food and the outside. I especially like to use these over clingwrap for environmental reasons.
I like to lightly cover the bowl with freezer paper — waxy side down — to prevent any moisture from seeping in. This is a common problem that causes chocolate to seize up and give you a major headache.

Parchment paper is created by running sheets of paper pulp through a bath of sulfuric acid. This process partially dissolves or gelatinizes the paper, after which the paper is dried. The treatment with sulfuric oxide forms a sulfurized cross-linked material with high density, stability, and heat resistance, and low surface energy, making the paper non-sticky.
