Crispy Flammkuchen Recipe - Tarte flambée DIY

Flammkuchen is a speciality from Alsace. The basis of the tarte flambée is a very thinly rolled out base of bread dough. The traditional topping consists of raw onions, bacon and a cream of sour cream. The whole thing is somewhat similar to a pizza. However, the biggest difference here is the dough. There is no yeast in the recipe for tarte flambée. Today, we at food for flexitarians show you a vegetarian alternative to the traditional topping. However, the tarte flambée can easily be prepared according to your own taste.
