      Preeti – I have written under "Preparation". Read the third line. You have to preheat the oven.

      You can skip that. No replacement for that. It only adds to the flavor.

    After taking the dough from the refrigerator, you have to work quickly otherwise the dough will become soft. Or else you can divide the dough into 2 equal parts and refrigerate it. After finishing one batch, you can take the one from the refrigerator and continue.

      Yes, you are right. Refrigerate means not freezing. I will mention specifically if it has to be freezed.
