This recipe is a delightful twist on the traditional Alsatian Flammkuchen, featuring a crispy base topped with a creamy, savory mix of onions and bacon.
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature setting.
A hot oven ensures a crispy base, so let it heat thoroughly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, salt, and butter to form a smooth dough.
Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, but avoid overworking it.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface as thinly as possible.
Thin dough results in a crispier base, so take your time rolling it out.
Spread the creme fraiche evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Use the back of a spoon to spread the creme fraiche evenly.
Slice the onions thinly and distribute them over the creme fraiche.
Thin slices ensure the onions cook evenly.
Cut the bacon into small pieces and sprinkle them on top.
For a smoky flavor, use high-quality smoked bacon.
Place the prepared flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Keep an eye on the flatbread to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
