Flammekueche<\/em> or Tarte Flamb\u00e9e\u00a0<\/em>(German or French for ‘flame tart’)\u00a0is an Alsatian pizza with a luscious cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche or frommage blanc base that is topped with thinly sliced onions and lardon and cooked in a wood burning oven.<\/p>\n Todd Parsons Photography<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you ask for Tarte Flamb\u00e9e Gratin\u00e9e \u00a0<\/em>in Alsace\u00a0you will get an addition of Gruy\u00e8re, or if you demand your pizza foresti\u00e8re\u00a0<\/em>you will receive added mushrooms.\u00a0However, I think you will get nothing but strange looks if you ask for delicata squash slices<\/em>…hmmm…would the translation be courgi\u00e8re<\/em>?<\/p>\n Tunitas Creek Kitchen whipped up this Alsatian pizza to pair with wheat beer from\u00a0Cypress Brewing Company<\/a>\u00a0at our recent dinner. We only made a few\u00a0slight<\/em>\u00a0changes to the original recipe \u2013 we added delicata squash, rosemary, pancetta instead of lardon, pecorino, and a drizzle of malt extract \u2013 an ooey gooey malty sweet tasting syrup used in beer making.<\/p>\n Flammekueche, is said to have been created by bread bakers in Alsace to test the heat of their wood burning ovens. Legend has it, they would push the embers back and bake this pizza, then I presume enjoy a nice snack before getting down to business. The intense 700\u02daheat (or higher!) would torch the crust hence the term\u00a0Flamb\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
