Maumau's Flammekueche

Ingredients

1 serving

• 50 ml vegetable oil
• 250 g semi-whole wheat flour
• 1 pinch of fleur de sel
• 100 ml lukewarm water
• 1 onion
• 200 g smoked bacon bits
• 150 ml thick crème fraîche

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the dough. Put the dry ingredients (flour + salt) into your food processor bowl or a mixing bowl. Gradually add the oil and water until you obtain a smooth and supple dough. Depending on the flour, you might need to add a little more water or a little more flour. It depends on the case.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) on fan setting. Roll out the dough on your work surface to form a rectangle. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and put the dough on top.

3. 3

   Garnish the flammekueche. Traditionally, the base of this specialty is fromage blanc or a mixture of crème fraîche and fromage blanc. Spread the crème fraîche over the entire dough, season with salt and pepper. Slice the red onion thinly and arrange the strips over the crème fraîche. Finish with the bacon lardons.

4. 4

   Bake the flammekueche for 15 to 20 minutes, keep an eye on it. The edges of the dough should be just golden. If you have a pizza oven, you can bake it inside; it will be even better!
