Pro Tips
This is the German take on pizza and this is my favourite topping to have on it, my friends from Berlin showed me this recipe and is very close to my heart
The only variation I do for flammkuchen is caramelising the onions before I put it in the oven, because I’m addicted to caramelised onions
If the base is too thick it won’t cook properly and tastes a little like uncooked bread, but the top will be done, I roll it out in a rectangle like they do in Berlin but if you have a pizza stone then feel free to roll it out in a circle to cook the base better
If you cant say flammkuchen its perfectly acceptable to call them flame cakes!
