Craving for pizza? Try Flammekueche, a Franco-German version of pizza! Flammekueche is best described as a cross between pizza bianca (white pizza), flatbread and tart: it has a super thin base that’s traditionally covered with crème fraîche, bacon and sliced onions. It’s mouth-wateringly good and the best thing is it’s much quicker to make than a regular pizza as the dough is unleavened. No yeast means no proofing, and no proofing means the oh-so delicious flammekueche will be in your belly in no time!
