## The Classic Charm of Margherita Pizza
Margarita pizza is a quintessential Italian dish featuring a simple combination of dough and two primary ingredients. The preparation process is uncomplicated, with the dough requiring an overnight rest to attain the perfect balance of crispiness and softness. By preparing the dough in advance, you can streamline the process for the next day. Let us proceed with creating this dish by following the recipe.
