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.
