Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 185 g white flour all-purpose or strong
  • 3½ g fast-action yeast instant yeast
  • ½ teaspoon caster sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 115 ml lukewarm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 100 g bacon cut into small pieces
  • 120 g creme fraiche or full-fat sour cream
  • 1 large brown onion thinly sliced
  • 130 g Gruyere, Emmental or Gouda use Cheddar if you can't find them, grated
  • black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place flour, yeast, sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and warm water and mix it into a rough dough. Scrape it onto a light floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth and cohesive (you can make the dough in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment too.
  • Place the dough ball in a clean lightly greased bowl, cover with clingfilm, and leave it to rest at room temperature for 1.5-2 hours, or until doubled in volume. Preheat the oven to the highest setting (typically 230°C (450°F)), and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Fry the bacon pieces in a frying pan until they are crispy and starting to brown. Place the bacon on a paper towel to absorb any excess grease.
  • Divide the dough ball into two. Roll each into a thin circle of about 0.5 cm thickness.
  • Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a prepared baking sheet. Spread the sour cream all over, avoiding about 1 cm edge. Top with raw onions, cheese and finally, crispy bacon pieces.
  • Bake the Flammkuchen in the centre of the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are deep golden brown.
