Yield: 4 Portionen
Ingredients: 200 g all-purpose flour; 100 ml water; 2 tbsp olive oil; 1 tsp salt; 200 g crème fraîche; 100 g sour cream; 1 medium onion; 150 g smoked bacon (diced or in thin strips (Lardons or Speckwürfel if available in US markets!) 😉 if not, just regular smoked bacon cut into small pieces is perfectly fine. The German original simply states 'Speck', which is a type of smoked, cured pork belly. Let's stick with smoked bacon for the US market and keep it simple for the user to find in the store. Let's make sure it's diced or cut into small pieces as the original recipe states. 'diced or in thin strips' is a good phrase to use here. It keeps it general enough for the user to understand what to look for/do. Let's keep it 'diced or in thin strips' for the US market.); 1 medium apple; 2 sprigs fresh rosemary; 1 pinch black pepper (to taste); 1 pinch salt (to taste)

This flammkuchen is a sophisticated twist on the classic Alsatian tarte flambée, yet it's still quick to prepare. The delicate sweetness of the apple perfectly harmonizes with the savory bacon and aromatic rosemary, making it an ideal dish for entertaining guests.

Topping

1 mediumapple
2 sprigsfresh rosemary

1 pinchblack pepper(to taste)
1 pinchsalt(to taste)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
For the dough, combine the flour, water, olive oil, and salt in a bowl. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms. You can do this by hand or with a stand mixer. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche and sour cream. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings or half-rings. Dice the smoked bacon into small pieces. Wash and core the apple, then thinly slice it.
Roughly chop the fresh rosemary needles.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion very thinly into an oval or rectangular shape (approximately 12x16 inches or 30x40 cm). The thinner the dough, the crispier your flammkuchen will be.
Carefully transfer one rolled-out dough portion onto a sheet of parchment paper. Spread half of the crème fraîche mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly distribute half of the sliced onions, diced bacon, and sliced apples over the crème fraîche mixture. Sprinkle with half of the chopped rosemary.
Slide the flammkuchen, still on the parchment paper, onto the hot pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the topping is bubbling.
Repeat steps 7-9 with the second dough portion and remaining topping ingredients.
Remove from the oven, slice into pieces, and serve immediately. Enjoy your festive flammkuchen!

💡 Tipp

For an even crispier crust, make sure your oven is very hot and the dough is rolled out as thinly as possible. If you don't have a pizza stone, a preheated baking sheet will also work well. You can also vary the toppings; try adding some thinly sliced mushrooms or a sprinkle of grated Gruyère cheese for extra flavor.
