How to Make Pizza Fiocco – The Fluffiest, Most Indulgent Pizza Ever

How to Make Pizza Fiocco – The Fluffiest, Most Indulgent Pizza Ever If you’re a pizza lover, then Pizza Fiocco is about to become your new obsession. This Italian favorite is no ordinary pizza. Known for its light, cloud-like crust topped with creamy burrata, savory prosciutto, and a touch of basil, it’s indulgent yet simple—perfect for a weekend treat or a special dinner that feels like a trip to Italy. This recipe makes one large Pizza Fiocco, enough for about 2-3 people (or one very hungry person!). Here’s what you’ll need: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp active dry yeast ¾ cup warm water (110°F or 45°C) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 150g fresh burrata cheese 6 slices of prosciutto Fresh basil leaves, to taste Start by making the dough, which is the base for that irresistibly fluffy crust. In a small bowl, mix the warm water with yeast and sugar, letting it sit for about 5 minutes until it starts to bubble. This step activates the yeast, giving you a beautifully airy dough. In a larger bowl, combine the flour and salt, then add in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Now, it’s time to knead! On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 8 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size. This resting period is essential for developing that light, pillowy texture. Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough into a large circle, about 10-12 inches wide, aiming for a slightly thicker edge to create that signature fluffy Fiocco crust. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone. Drizzle the dough with a little olive oil and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and lightly crisp. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Now for the toppings: tear the burrata and spread it generously over the warm crust. The heat will slightly melt the cheese, adding a creamy, luxurious texture. Lay the prosciutto slices on top and add fresh basil leaves. Finish with a final drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
