Flammkuchen German
Germany
Originally Alsatian, claimed by both Germany and France. The name means flame cake — baked directly in a wood-fired oven's flames.
Alsatian flame cake — paper-thin crispy dough spread with crème fraîche, onion and lardons. Germany's answer to pizza, baked in seconds in a very hot oven.
