Flammkuchen Recipe

Flammkuchen Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large bowl, mix together the flour, water, olive oil, and salt until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until elastic. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Caramelize the Onions

   Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook them slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In another skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the pan and chop into small pieces.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface until very thin, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Assemble the Flammkuchen

   Spread the sour cream evenly over the dough. Top with the caramelized onions and chopped bacon. Sprinkle with black pepper.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, optionally garnish with chopped chives, slice, and serve hot.
