Unlike in Saarland, which is reasonably close to Alsace, we don't have a decent pre-made dough in the
Do you really have a better idea for dinner tonight? |
Toppings:
50g chopped and cooked bacon
Creme fraiche
Red onion and shallot
Dough:
200g flour (about 1 1/3 cup)
110ml water (just under 1/3 of a cup)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Mix the dough ingredients, gather into a ball and work a few times so it has some cohesion. Don't work too much or it will be harder to roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit in the 'fridge for 30 minutes if you have time.
Preheat oven, hot is good. Pull dough out of 'fridge, roll out thin. Cover with creme fraiche and tasty bits, then throw in oven. Let bake until edges of dough brown a touch. Remove, divvy, eat. You can have this thing from start to table in 45 minutes once you get it down.

I didn't know that you could make the crust without yeast. I have always used my standard pizza crust. This crust must be more like the cracker like crusts we have had in Germany. Flammkuchen is easy and delicious one you have the crust. I definitely need to try this with Corralitos bacon, of course.
Oh, with Corralitos bacon would be done. And yes, it is much more like a cracker. A tasty cracker with bacon.
The first time I made this I used regular American all purpose flour and had a very hard time rolling it out. Today I used Italian 00 flour and it was much easier to work with.
