Flammkuchen

YUM!!!!!

Gropius and I made Flammkuchen last night for dinner.  I found our recipe from a past entry of one of our favorite food blogs.

It required a bit of pre-dinner prep earlier in the afternoon, but the dough was easy to throw together with the KitchenAid mixer.  It was interesting in that it called for a bit of rye flour (in addition to the all-purpose) which gave it a nice full flavor.  I didn't even bother removing the dough from my mixing bowl--I just slapped some saran-wrap on top and put it in the oven with the light on to rise in a warm place until we were ready to cook dinner (after I got home from German class).

The rest of the prep was equally easy, too--just thinly slicing red onions and stirring together some créme fraiche--we were good to go!

Next time I would chop up the pancetta for easier eating

Worst part?  Slicing all those red onions!

Then, we slid that puppy into the oven and waited 15 minutes to enjoy a delicious meal with some nice German Riesling.

Sliding it onto our preheated pan

finished product!

Can you see the deliciousness?  HEAVENLY!
