The basic rules for Alsace tarte flambée with ham and crème fraîche are simple: if the dough is kneaded smoothly, it needs rest. Meanwhile, there is time for some hard work: dice the onions very finely.

Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 300 g Flour (Type 550)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 10 g fresh yeast
  • 2 TABLESPOONS neutral oil
  • 2 red onions
  • 150 g Fresh cream
  • 150 g ripened cream
  • 150 g Diced ham
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Put flour and 1 large pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Stir yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar until liquid and add to the flour.

  2. 2

    Add approx. 175 ml lukewarm water and oil (see tip on the right) and knead to a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the mixer. It is best to knead for about 10 minutes, then it can be rolled out very thinly later.

  3. 3

    Form the dough into a ball and cover with a kitchen towel. Leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    For the topping, peel onions and cut them into fine cubes. Mix crème fraîche and sour cream, season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 220 °C/circulating air: 200 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line baking tray with baking paper. Halve the dough. Knead one half again briefly and roll out oval and very thin on a floured work surface (see tip on the right). Place on the baking tray.

  6. 6

    Spread half the crème-fraîche mixture on the dough with a tablespoon, leaving a rim of about 1 cm. Sprinkle with half of the ham and onions. Bake in a hot oven on the lowest shelf for 12-15 minutes. In the meantime prepare the 2nd tarte flambée in the same way. Take the finished tarte flambée out of the oven and cut it into pieces with a pizza cutter. Bake the 2nd portion.
