Fall Flammkuchen (with goat cheese & walnuts)

This fall Flammkuchen is a delicious way to celebrate the start of fall. It adds goat cheese, figs, walnuts and honey to the traditional Elsässer Flammkuchen. Then replaces the typical onion slices for leeks. Drink with a glass of crisp Riesling for the ultimate German fall experience.

Equipment

Ingredients

Flammkuchen Dough

200 grams flour
2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup water

Flammkuchen Toppings

200 grams sour cream
60 milliliters heavy whipping cream
salt and pepper
100 grams bacon thick cut, cut into small strips (lardons) or dice
2 leeks trimmed, cut into slices
100 grams goat cheese the soft kind called chèvre, cut into pieces
8 figs Fresh or dried, cut into quarters, you can use dates instead. If using dried, I like to place them on the sauce first, so they don't dry out more in the oven.
1 teaspoon rosemary fresh, if using dried only use ½ teaspoon
1 handful walnuts halved or cut into smaller pieces
honey for drizzling after baking

Instructions

Preheat the oven to the highest temperature (usually 500° Fahrenheit or 260° Celsius) and if you have a pizza stone, feel free to use it. Baking it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper works fine as well.

Make The Dough

Mix together the dough ingredients. If it’s still sticky, add some more flour until you are able to work it with your hands. If it's too dry, add some more water.
200 grams flour, 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup water

Prepare the Toppings

Mix together the sour cream and heavy whipping cream. Season to taste with some salt and pepper.
200 grams sour cream, 60 milliliters heavy whipping cream, salt and pepper

Notes

While typically in Germany one Flammkuchen serves one person, this one serves 2 as a main meal. You could also make this recipe into 2 smaller Flammkuchen instead, so each person can enjoy their individual ones.
