  2. Don't add too much yeast than recommended. Since the dough is fermenting for a long time, ¼ tsp is enough.
  3. You can use ½ all purpose flour and ½ wheat flour instead of complete all purpose flour.
  4. Use can use fennel seeds, nigella seeds as well.
  5. Egg white is really important, so don't skip that.
  6. For really black colour. you can add 1 tsp of activated charcoal.
