For the dough

Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a firm dough using enough water.

Heat the olive oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the garlic and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds.
Add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for another 1 to 2 minutes or till they turn translucent.
Add the spring onion greens, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for a few more seconds.

How to proceed

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Roll out a portion between the palms of your hands into a 75 mm. (3") diameter circle.
Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook it on a slow flame till pink spots appear on both the sides.
Continue cooking the bhakhri on a slow flame, while pressing with a khakhra press or folded muslin cloth till it turns crisp and golden brown in colour from both the sides.
While on the tava (griddle), spread 2 tbsp of the pizza sauce and top with 1 tbsp of cheese evenly over it. Cover it with a lid and cook on a slow flame for 2 more minutes.
