I first tried these biscuits at Selin Kiazim’s bakery in Fitzrovia, which has unfortunately since closed. Her baked goods were truly one of a kind, and these biscuits – slightly flat, crisp and filled with silky chocolate – became quite popular. This version is quite different to traditional izmir bomba; I wanted a dough that was easy to work with, quick to put together, and with a homemade filling. You need to be quick when wrapping the chocolate inside the pastry, though, but if a little seeps out, that’s OK; they’re meant to be rustic.
