Preheat the oven for roasting tomatoes.

Quarter the Roma tomatoes and place them on a pan lined with parchment paper.

Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic.

Roast the tomatoes in the oven until they are charred and softened.

In a mixing bowl, combine about 1 and a quarter cups of bread flour and some potato flakes.

Add cold water to the mixture and mix until it starts to come together.

Let the mixture rest in a separate bowl after forming it into a ball.

Moisten panko breadcrumbs with half and half for the meatballs.

In a separate bowl, combine garlic, onion, dried oregano, cayenne, soy sauce, freeze-dried basil, and Worcestershire sauce to create the meatball mixture.

Add the moistened breadcrumbs to the meatball mixture and combine well.

Cook garlic and onion in a pan with some water, aiming for a slight char rather than caramelization.
