Alsatian Flammekueche
by Valentine KitamuraThis is the simplest flatbread you'll ever do!
No it's not a mistake, there is no yeast in the dough, which means it can be made very fast!
The name means "pie in the flames" so you have to cook it on very high temperature! It will make you dough crispy and cook the onions just right!
Serve on a large board, cut in pieces, with beer or sparkling wine. It's such a delicious appetizer!
