Method

  2. Flatten each layer into a 4-inch circle using a rolling pin or your hands.
Filling and Sealing

Notes

Allow bombs to sit for a minute after air frying as they will be molten inside. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days at room temperature or a week in the fridge.
