Ingredients
For the Dough:

- 5 g baking powder 1 full teaspoon
- 5 g vanilla sugar or 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 ml neutral oil approx. 5 tablespoons

- Melted chocolate dark or semi-sweet, for the base layer
- Sliced almonds for topping, optional

Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients except the flour. Then gradually add the flour to form a soft dough. (Be careful with the flour , every flour behaves differently. Add more if needed. The dough should be soft.) Cover it and let it rest in the fridge for about 15 minutes
- Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out between baking paper into a round shape. Gather the edge trimmings, wrap them in plastic wrap, and place them in the freezer for about 15–20 minutes, you’ll grate this later for the edge decoration.
- Now, place a wide-mouth bowl upside down in the center of the dough. Around the edges, spread chocolate, add strawberries, then add the grated dough pieces and shape it. Brush with the reserved egg white, and finally, sprinkle sliced almonds. (If you don’t have them, no problem.)
- Bake in a fully preheated fan oven at 170°C (338°F) for around 15–20 minutes. Once fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
- Ready to Serve
