Flammkuchen

Flammkuchen, a dish from Alsace, is a thin, crispy dough base traditionally topped with crème fraîche, onions and bacon. It is also known as tarte flambée. The possibilities with flammkuchen are endless: you can vary the toppings and adapt the dish to every season and every type of guest. Flammkuchen is ideal for fast service, for example at lunch, and is relatively easy to fit into small kitchens.

Flammkuchen bases

These flammkuchen bases are of outstanding quality and form the perfect basis for this versatile dish. Made to a traditional recipe, the bases are wonderfully thin and crispy, giving the characteristic bite of a real flammkuchen. They are easy to use, so you can always offer consistency and quality. After defrosting, these bases keep for as long as 14 days in the fridge.

The ovens

The right oven is essential for the perfect flammkuchen. Flammkuchen needs a short baking time at temperatures between 220°C and 270°C. That is why we recommend the ovens below, which are specially designed to heat up to 350°C, guaranteeing optimal results. These ovens are available in both single and double-deck versions, so you can choose what suits your kitchen best.

Tips & inspiration

Bake the flammkuchen briefly at a high temperature in a pizza oven at 220°C–270°C. No pizza oven? Bake it in a combi steamer with a pizza stone. The flammkuchen is done when the bubbles on the outside turn yellow/golden.
Use a firm crème fraîche. Otherwise the base will be too soft.
Top the flammkuchen after baking. Firm garnishes that still need cooking should, however, be added beforehand.
Do not use too many or wet toppings (such as tuna in water), so the flammkuchen stays crispy.
