Then put your tray in the freezer until you make your dough balls \u2013 this is your chocolate filling.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Preheat the oven to 240\u00baC\/ 220\u00baC (fan)\/ 475\u00baF\/ Gas 9. Then whip up a batch of no-knead, no-prove pizza dough according to the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Tip the dough ball out onto a floured work surface and cut into 16 pieces (no need to knead!). Toss each dough ball in flour until lightly coated.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: One by one, flatten each ball slightly, and place a piece of frozen chocolate spread filling in the centre. Then pinch the dough around it to seal it completely (make sure you patch up any holes). Shape into a ball and set to one side.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Heat an oven safe frying pan on the stove with a drizzle of flavourless oil, then add your dough balls. Leave a gap between each dough ball to allow them to rise. Cook the dough balls on the stove for 5-6 minutes, then move the pan into the oven and bake for a further 12-14 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n<p>Step 6: Sprinkle with caster sugar and toss gently to coat. Serve warm, and get ready to impress your guests.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Gousto?<\/h2>\n<p>Dinner, but not as you know it.
