Ingredients:

For the Dough:

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:
   • In a bowl, mix flour, oil, warm water, vanilla, and salt until you get a soft dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Roll & Fill:
   • Roll the dough very thinly on a floured surface.
   • Cut circles (approx. 8–10 cm), place a spoonful of cold chocolate in the center.
   • Fold and seal the edges carefully.
3. Bake:
   • Place on a tray with parchment paper.
   • Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 6–8 minutes. Don’t overbake – they should stay pale.
4. Cool Slightly & Serve:
   • Best served warm for the chocolate to ooze!

Tips for the Best Izmir Bomba:

✅ Use Chilled Chocolate: Helps keep it thick inside.
✅ Roll the Dough Thin: Thinner dough = bigger explosion!
✅ Don’t Overbake: They should be soft and barely colored.
