Instructions

  1. Mix the flour with the water, olive oil and a pinch of salt until stretchy. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. After 1 hour, switch the oven on to 300C (yes, hot!)
  3. Roll out dough very thinly on a floured surface and transfer to baking parchment on a baking tray.
  4. Mix creme, nutmeg and season and spoon/spread over pastry evenly.
  5. Sprinkle over onion, lardons and cheese.
  6. Bake for 5 minutes, or until crispy at the edges.

Flammkuchen, flam-kuche, Flàmmeküeche lit. “flame cake” - many spellings, but all delicious - this is a German dish from the Baden/Alsace border region borrowed from the French (tarte flambée) borrowed from the Italians (pizza).

As a variation you can swap the creme for salsa and tomato to make something closer to pizza.

This makes two flammkuchen.
