Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • Half tea glass warm water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 300 grams chocolate spread
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

Method

  1. Drop the chocolate spread in teaspoon portions onto parchment paper and freeze until solid.
  2. Knead flour, water, oil, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a bowl to get a smooth, soft dough.
  3. Cover and rest the dough for 15 minutes, then divide into 12 equal balls.
  4. Roll out each ball as thinly and transparently as possible using a rolling pin.
  5. Place the frozen chocolate balls in the center, gather the edges at the top, and pinch off any excess dough.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius for only 5-7 minutes until the bottom browns, and serve hot.

Your oven must be very hot and the baking time should not exceed 7 minutes to prevent the dough from drying out.
