Doubts whether one read 1 rakaat or 2 rakaats

Q: I am reading my salaah alone and I am not sure whether I read 1 rakaat or 2 rakaats. Should I make sajida sahw or break the salaah and restart again.

A: If this does not occur frequently then you should restart the salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
