The Flammkuchen roulade is a great dish for a quick dinner, entertaining guests or as a savory “tart” on the table instead of classic pizza. Thin yeast-free dough, a creamy base, crispy bacon and golden-browned onion – simple ingredients that together create a bold yet homely flavor. The roulade slices well, looks nice on the plate and can be made even by someone who doesn’t usually make savory doughs.

Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the dough Pour the flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir, add the lukewarm water and olive oil and work the dough – first with a spoon, then with your hands. The dough should be smooth, elastic and not too sticky. If it's too sticky, lightly dust with flour, but don't overdo it so it remains tender after baking. Wrap the finished dough in cling film or cover the bowl and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  • Preparing the filling Cut the bacon into smaller pieces. Fry it in a pan over low to medium heat until golden and crispy. Remove it onto a paper towel to absorb excess fat. Add the sliced onion to the drippings and slowly sauté it until it softens and lightly browns. The onion should be soft and slightly sweet, not burnt.
  • Rolling out the dough and filling Place the rested dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle roughly 30 × 20 cm. The dough should be thin but not translucent so it can be rolled and still bake up nicely crisp. Spread the sour cream evenly over the entire surface. Sprinkle with the sautéed onion and bacon, season with freshly ground pepper and optionally a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Rolling the roulade Carefully roll the dough along the long side into a tight roulade, similar to a sweet roulade. Try to roll as tightly as possible so each slice contains more layers of filling. Transfer the roulade to a baking sheet lined with baking paper seam-side down so it doesn't open during baking. If the ends are too thin or uneven, you can trim them slightly.
  • Baking Preheat the oven to 220 °C (convection about 200 °C). Bake the roulade for approximately 15–20 minutes, until the dough turns golden and the surface is crisp. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and the thickness of the dough, so keep an eye on the roulade toward the end of baking.
  • Slicing and serving Let the baked roulade rest for a few minutes so the filling stabilizes and it slices better. Then cut it into slices about 2 cm thick. You can sprinkle fresh herbs on the plate and serve with a simple green salad.
