- half a teaspoon of salt;
- one teaspoon of granulated sugar;
- three cups (250 grams each) of wheat flour;
- two tablespoons of odorless plain vegetable oil for dough;

Cooking dough
If a set of products for making dough seemed familiar to you, then you are on the right track. The recipe for tomato bombs is quite similar in the process of making dough with pasties. The mass should be light, crispy after frying and with a lot of air bubbles.
So, take a container suitable for mixing and pour boiling water there. We dissolve salt and sugar in it, add one glass of wheat flour. We try to knead the flour as thoroughly as possible so that there are no lumps left. Then add the rest of the flour and knead. We monitor the consistency of the test. It should not be liquid, but not too thick. Tomato bomb pies, the recipe of which we offer photos, should be made of perfect elastic and supple dough.
After you mix the mass in a bowl, it can be laid out on a cutting surface. Put a little oil on the slot, knead the dough with a grip of oil. The base for the pies is almost ready. Before cooking, it should be placed in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, previously formed into a ball and wrapped with plastic wrap.
Cheese and tomatoes
The most popular tomato bomb bombing recipe is complete without the addition of salted cheeses. You can buy feta, ricotta or take the usual and familiar cheese. The product must be grated on the smallest grater that you have in the kitchen. My tomatoes, cut into circles, previously cutting the core.
Tomatoes with cottage cheese
No less tasty will be the bomb with tomatoes and cottage cheese. The filling recipe is also quick and easy to prepare. Tomatoes, as in the first recipe, are cut into large circles. As for the cottage cheese, it must be put in a small bowl, a little salt, pepper and mix thoroughly.
Cheese with cottage cheese and herbs
If there are no tomatoes in your kitchen, or you are not a fan of these red vegetables, then you can always take note of a simple recipe for the filling, consisting of cottage cheese and cheese. Cheese for this filling will need hard to easily and quickly rubbed on a grater. Curd is better to take coarse, natural, with a high percentage of fat content.
In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese with finely shredded cheese. Add greens to the mixture. It can be absolutely any: parsley, dill, cilantro, basil. Remember that there is not much green. In this recipe, it should be one third of the total mass.
Tomatoes with cheese and garlic
The recipe for bombs with tomatoes, cheese and garlic is pretty juicy. Tomatoes and cheese for this filling are prepared, as in previous versions. Garlic is squeezed using a garlic squeezer.
How much garlic is required for this recipe? It is up to you to decide. There are people who like to feel this product in a dish and add a lot of it. But if you do not belong to those, then one or two lobules is enough to just soak the filling with aroma.
Pie shaping
The filling is ready. The dough came up. You can start forming bombs. A recipe with tomatoes and cheese involves a rather thin dough, so be prepared to spend time rolling it. A large lump of dough should be divided into two equal parts. We roll them out quite thinly, like dumplings. The filling is also prepared in advance. From its soft part (cottage cheese, cheese) we form small balls. If you chose a recipe that uses tomatoes, then put the balls of cheese or cottage cheese on vegetables. Then put the finished shaped filling into the center of our piece of dough.
When the dough is rolled, and the filling is formed, proceed to the final stage. On the rolled layer we lay out the balls with the filling so that there is a distance between them. It should be approximately equal to a centimeter or two. After that, we cover the filling with the second test layer. And then a glass comes into play. Cut pies from the dough. Do not worry that the layer will peel off from the layer. The glass holds the dough fairly tightly while pressing it. The filling will remain in place, and the pie will not lose shape, and the cooking process will take a few minutes.
We pass to the roasting. Bomb pies with tomatoes and cheese, the recipe of which we have offered you today, must be fried in a sufficient amount of oil. Heat the pan, add the oil there so that it covers the bottom well. Here we need a big fire only until the moment when the container is ignited. Once the oil is hot enough, the fire can be reduced. We place the bombs in the pan and fry on both sides until golden and crispy.
To reduce the fat content in the dish, ready-made fried pies should be laid out on paper napkins pre-spread on the table. While you are preparing the remaining bombs, the previous ones have cooled down a bit, and they can be served at the table. The yield of the presented ingredients is quite large. After frying, you will see from ten to fourteen pies in a plate, depending on the size of the filling and the glass with which you formed the bomb.
