Instructions

Prepare the dough

  1. In a large bowl mix together flour, cold water, oil and salt. Knead it for about 3-5 minutes. The dough shouldn't stick to your fingers. If it is - add more flour.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough sit for at least 30 minutes. The plastic wrap prevents the dough from drying.

Prepare your toppings

  1. Peel and cut the onion into thin rings. (Flammkuchen will bake for only 10 minutes in the oven, so make sure the rings are thin)
  2. In a small bowl, mix crème fraîche, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Check if you like it. :) Make sure that it's not too salty—there will be bacon on top of it, after all!

Traditional Version

  1. Take the bacon cubes out of the fridge.
  2. Cut bacon into cubes.

Vegetarian Version

  1. Wash and cut the bell pepper into thin stripes.

Make Flammkuchen

  1. Preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F). Let the baking tray warm up in the oven as well.
  2. After resting, transfer the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for another minute.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape into rounds.
  4. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a flat circle. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and the backing sheet to the oven.
  5. Spread the crème fraîche (3 large tablespoons) into each round, along with onion rings and additional toppings.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes until crust on the edges turns golden brown.
