Alsatian Tarte Flambée Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Toppings

   While the dough rests, slice the onion thinly and set aside. In a skillet, cook the bacon lardons over medium heat until crispy, then drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface until it is very thin, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tarte Flambée

   Spread the fromage blanc evenly over the dough. Top with the crispy bacon lardons and sliced onions. Season with black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Bake

   Carefully transfer the assembled tart to the hot oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone) and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Serve warm.
