Ingredients

  • 3-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1-1/4 cups water
  • 1 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
  • 3-4 stalks rhubarb
  • 8 oz of goat cheese
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F and place two baking sheets in the oven.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk the flour and salt together.
  3. Add the water and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Separate the dough into 4 equal pieces (use a kitchen scale.)
  4. On a lightly floured pieces of parchment paper, roll each piece of dough out into an oval shape.
  5. Brush the sour cream or Creme Fraiche over the tops of the dough ovals.
  6. Clean and trim the rhubarb discarding the leaves and trim any rough pieces off the bottoms.
  7. Slice each stalk diagonally into 1⁄4 inch thick pieces.
  8. Slice the goat cheese into rounds, then cut each round into sixths like a cake.
  9. Arrange the goat cheese, then the rhubarb pieces, and lastly, the basil leaves evenly on top of the prepared Flammkuchen. I made a tree pattern. However, the evenly scattering of ingredients also works fine and takes less time.
