similar to pizza, but with an unleavened dough and without the tomatoes

the topping can range from cheese to vegetables to bacon.

Originally, Flammkuchen was made with bread dough.

Preheat the oven to 450°F. 

2 cups (285 g) flour, all purpose flour or bread flour

Approx. ¾ cup (180 ml) water

1 tsp salt

1 tsp oil

Mix and knead until you have a smooth dough, at least 5-10 minutes. Divide the dough into 7 balls. Let them rest for 20 minutes. If you want to cover them, use a tea towel, no need to waste single plastic wrap😊. 

Roll out the dough very thinly: scatter some flour on your worksurface

Topping: 

Mix 1 cup of sour cream, 1 egg, salt and pepper. Spread 1-2 tbsp of this mixture on the thinly rolled out dough.

Additional:

Leek, thinly sliced

Onion, very thinly sliced

grated cheese (Gouda, Swiss…)

finely diced bacon, pre-fried

Place the tarte flambée on a baking tray lined with baking paper, place in the oven and bake until the dough is browned around the edges, about 7-12 minutes.
