   Preheat the oven fully to 365°F (185°C). Place the frozen dough balls spaced apart on a room-temp, parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 mins, until edges are set and centres are pale, puffed and glossy.

   Immediately press the reserved chocolate chunks on top and sprinkle generously with flaky salt. Rest on the tray for 10 mins, then transfer to a rack.
