| 3 cups | all purpose flour | |
| ½ spoon | salt | |
| 1 spoon | sugar | |
| Herbs |
| 2 spoons | finely chopped oregano | |
| 2 spoons | finely chopped basil | |
| 2 spoons | finely chopped cilantro | |
| 2 spoons | finely chopped time | |
| 2 spoons | finely chopped dill | |
| 2 spoons | minced ginger | |

| Cooking procedure |
|---|
| Add the dry yeast in warm water, mix and leave it for sometime to foam. Take flour in a large
bowl, add salt and sugar and mix. Make a depression in the middle and pour in the yeast, all
the herbs and water and make a nice dough. Add a few spoons of olive oil if you want to. Knead
the dough well; add a little more flour if needed and make sure the dough does not stick to
your hands. Cover and place in a warm place for about 1 hour, or till the flour has risen
considerably. Press the dough with your hands to deflate it, and knead again for sometime. You
will notice that the dough has become quite soft now. You can either stretch the dough or use
a rolling pin to make your pizza base. |
| Any additional information: |
| It is OK if you don’t have all the herbs mentioned. You can use 5 spoons finely chopped
oregano, and 5 spoons chopped basil instead. But it is necessary to add ginger and garlic. |
