Pizza is one of the most popular foods around the world, and the New York style pizza is known for its thin and crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and generous toppings. The pizza dough in this recipe is inspired by the Italian immigrants who brought this delicious food to the streets of New York City in the early 1900s.

7.	Place the dough balls on a lightly floured surface, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15-20 minutes.
