Flammkuchen Recipe

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean towel and let it rest while you prepare the toppings.

• Mix the crème fraîche (and yogurt, if using) in a small bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if desired).

• Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) or as high as it will go. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
• Roll out very thinly on a floured surface—aim for less than 1/8 inch.
• puncture tiny holes in the dough with a fork all over.

• Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet or pizza peel (if using a stone). Spread a thin layer of the crème fraîche mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.
• Distribute the onions and bacon evenly on top.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy, and the bacon is cooked through.

• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Optionally, garnish with fresh chives or parsley before slicing and serving.
