. ½ teaspoon salt

. ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Pizza base with topping

 Ingredients:

. 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

. 1 teaspoon salt

. 1 teaspoon sugar

. 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast

. 1 cup warm water (around 110°F/43°C)

. 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

2. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the instant yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

4. Gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients together until they form a dough.

5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You may need to add a bit more flour if the dough is too sticky.

6. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, turning it around to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

7. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will allow the yeast to ferment and create air pockets in the dough.

8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles that may have formed.

9. Divide the dough into portions, depending on the size of pizzas you want to make. You can make one large pizza or several smaller ones.

10. Roll out each portion of dough into a round or oval shape, about ¼ inch thick. If the dough springs back while rolling, let it rest for a few minutes and then continue.

11. At this point, you can add your favorite pizza toppings and bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Once your pizza is ready, remove it from the oven, slice, and enjoy!

Note: If you prefer a thinner or thicker crust, you can adjust the thickness by rolling the dough accordingly. Additionally, this recipe makes a basic pizza dough. Feel free to add herbs or other seasonings to the dough to enhance the flavor if desired.

2. Heat 3 tbsps oil in a heavy bottomed vessel. Add asafoetida and allow to sizzle. Add the ground urad dal paste and mix vigorously as it will stick to the vessel.

4. Once it appears like a loose crumbly texture, add the chopped coriander leaves and mix. Turn off heat. Set aside this urad dal mixture in a separate bowl.
5. Take a large bowl, add the whole wheat flour, salt, oil and water and make a slightly firm dough. [At this stage you can add the cooked urad dal mixture along with the wheat flour while making the dough.
6. Make lemon sized balls of the dough and roll out into 5"-6" flattened circles/puris and deep fry till crisp and golden brown] If using the cooked urad dal mixture as a stuffing, you will first have to make a firm dough with whole wheat flour, salt, oil and water.

Bring the edges of the disc up to form a cup shape and enclose. 8. Dust some flour on the working surface and roll the ball into a flattened 5"-6" circle. Prepare puris with the rest of the dough and set aside.
 9. Heat oil for deep frying in a wide cooking vessel on high flame. Once the oil is hot, reduce flame to medium high and carefully slide a rolled out puri into the hot oil.
10. Gently press the puri with a ladle and allow it to puff. Increase flame and cook for a couple of seconds and gently flip to the other side.
11. Cook for a few seconds till it turns golden brown. Remove the bedmi puri from the oil and place on absorbent paper. Make bedmi puris with rest of the rolled out puris.
