German Pizza

A little about the recipe Although pizza is an Italian dish, but in other countries of Europe, too, baked something like that. For example, in Alsace, which was once the territory of Germany, and now belongs to France, they were preparing an identical dish, just called it a pie. The original name of Alsatian pizza is "tart flambe", which translates from French as "flaming pie". This name was given to this dish because it was prepared on an open fire, in "tongues of flame". Tart flambe or flamencukhe originates from the Alsatian peasant cuisine. Once in the Alsatian villages, bread was baked very rarely, sometimes every two or even three weeks, so that the baking procedure turned into a small family holiday. However, the freshly heated furnace was very hot for baking bread, but it was possible to cook a thin cake from the dough quickly, within a minute or two. To do this, the burning wood was raked on both sides of the furnace mouth, and in the middle was put a cake, which was covered with cheese or sour cream, slices of fat and onions. After a few minutes, the tart flambe was removed and placed on a wooden board, where it was then cut into pieces. The main difference between the "burning pie" and the pizza is that the dough is smeared not with tomato sauce, but with sour cream or cream cheese.
