What is flammkuchen made of?

Flammkuchen, which means 'flame cake' in German, is the perfect example of a dish that is much greater than the sum of its parts. Crème fraîche, sliced onion, bacon and a crispy base come together to create this delicious pizza-flatbread hybrid.

What is the difference between flammkuchen and pizza?

Flammkuchen is often referred to as 'German pizza', so I just wanted to set the record straight on this one. Flammkuchen and pizza use the same base dough. The key difference is that Flammkuchen uses a base of sour cream or crème fraiche while pizza comes with tomato sauce .

What is tarte flambée made of?

It looks like a pizza, it cooks like a pizza, but don't make the mistake of actually thinking it's a pizza. Tarte flambée, the Alsatian flatbread topped with fromage blanc (a fresh, tart, spreadable cheese), thinly sliced raw onions and bacon , is as Franco-Germanic in flavor as can be.

What are Mexican pizza shells made of?

If you want to make your own homemade version of a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, it should be fairly easy to do so. The shell is essentially a flour tortilla that has been fried in oil , much like how a tostada shell is made from a fried corn tortilla. Be aware that a flour tortilla will tend to puff up a bit while frying.

Instead of regular thin crust pizza make this German Pizza called Flammkuchen!

Jump to Recipe

This isone of my favorite dishes in the summertime in Germany, especially when paired with a Radler (German beer mixed with Sprite) sitting outside soaking up the sun! Flammkuchen is a German thin crust pizza with crispy bacon and onions with a sour cream/greek yogurt sauce. The sauce they use in Germany is Schmand, but we don’t have that in the United States. I used a mix of Greek Yogurt mixed with heavy cream, but you could use sour cream mixed with heavy cream as well.

Hello!
This is something I have actually craved over the years.
Wish we could buy the German speck here, so much better.
How much Heavy Cream do you use with the Greek Yoghurt?
Do you whip the cream?
This is my first time on your blog. I will be back.
Where were you in Germany? We were in Lahr, Schwarzwald.

1. Hi Charlie,
  Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I use just enough heavy cream (unwhipped) to slightly thin out the Greek yogurt so it can spread out on the dough easier. You can use creme fraiche too, but this is a little more budget friendly. I lived over in Ludwigshafen for a little over a year and completed an internship in Sinzig, Germany. My husband’s family and friends live near Bonn.
