Flammkuchen

Flammkuchen (OR Flammekueche) is not very well known. You even don’t know how to pronounce it, do you? Some people call it ‘German Pizza’. I heard that there are some regional variations, but most commonly Sour Cream is used. It’s surprisingly easy to make and I am loving it!

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

heaped cup Plain Flour OR Bread Flour *about 1 & 1/4 cups

1 teaspoon

Baking Powder *optional

1 pinch

Salt

1/2 cup

Warm Water

1 tablespoon

Olive Oil *OR Vegetable Oil

100 g

Sour Cream *OR Creme Fraiche

100 g

Bacon *cut into small pieces

1/2

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Combine Flour and Salt in a bowl. Add Warm Water and Olive Oil. Mix until a dough comes together. Knead, adding more flour if required, until smooth and elastic.

* Step 2

Divide the dough into 2 portions if you prefer. Roll out or flatten the dough into a thin oblong or round, and place on a baking tray(s), lined with baking paper if necessary.

* Step 3

Mix Sour Cream (OR Creme Fraiche) and Salt, spread on the base, scatter Bacon and Onion evenly, and sprinkle with ground Pepper.

* Step 4

Bake in a hot oven over 200℃ until nicely browned and edges are crispy. Today I baked it at 240℃ for 8 minutes. *Note: Make sure the baking surface is hot to achieve crispy bottom.
