- Salt to taste

Method
Prepare the Dough:
- In a small bowl, mix water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Topping:
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the paneer cubes and sauté them until they turn golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Assemble the Pizza:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into two portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet.
- Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce over the dough.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Evenly distribute the sautéed paneer, and freshly sliced bell peppers on top.
- Add the remaining cheese, sprinkle red chili flakes, and mixed Italian herbs.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once the pizza is out of the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro or basil leaves. Slice and serve hot!
