I don't have the special oven, did not have time to make the dough, and most likely a vegetarian coming over. So, no bacon. No bread dough. No really high heat.
[Here is a recipe for the real thing]
Note that Flammkuchen is not really german - it is from Alsace, i.e. a french region at the border to Switzerland & Germany.
Here's the cheap trick for the veggie-version:
I bought crescent dough - a little too sweet, true, but works; roll dough or pizza dough might be better but I wanted it a little flaky. Just because I felt like it.
Rolled it out on a sheet. Mixed sour cream with cream to add fat (for baking that's better, it crumbles otherwise, said my mom. And she knows these things..). Peppered and salted it. Sliced onion, boiled it shortly in water, then mixed it with walnuts and grape quarters.
The sour cream covers the dough, the onion-grape-nut mix is sprinkled over it, and all that is baked for about 15 minutes at about 375 deg F (or whatever your dough would like to be baked at).
It's a really nice, simple, quick version of vegetarian Flammkuchen!
Another veggie-pizza-like item is this here: I simmerd spinach with butter, mixed roasted sunflower seeds and dried tomatoes in, and ricotta. Salt and pepper, and cover the pizza dough of your preference with
Both are quick and easy, and, obviously, versatile. The spinach-ricotta mix is my favorite, the dried tomato gives it a real kick.
Good stuff. :)
