Ingredients:

Crust:
This makes 4- 8 inch Flammenkuchens or one sheet pan size

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 teasp Baking Powder (Not traditional but some like it)
2-4 Tblsp olive oil (more makes the dough smoother)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water

Topping
*1 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp Nutmeg

about 1//2 grated parmesan
about 1/2 cup grated Gruyere, Swiss, or Emmenthaler cheeese
You can also use any cheese like cheddar or Jack

5-6 spears of Asparagus
1/4 lb bacon, ham or smoked meat.
1 medium White or Purple Onion diced

garnish
caraway seeds
chopped parsley

1. Measure out your dry ingredients, 2 -4 tblsp oil and and the 1/2 cup water.

2. Add the oil and the water and mix well into a dough, and knead well to make a smooth dough.

3. Kneas well for about 10 min. to make a smooth dough.

4.

5. Cut the asparagus how you like. You can cut it into bite size pieces or I cut a little larger as I like strips.
I like to blanch the asparagus for 1 minute in salted water with a touch of sugar.

I made a combination of sour cream and cottage cheese as I like the texture and flavor.

6. In order to get that crispy cracker like texture for your crust you need to roll it out 1/8 inch thick.
a good way to do this is to use wax paper, use a little spray oil to make sure it will peel off nicely.

I use a pizza peel, but you can use a cutting board or the back of a sheet pan, to lay the crust down on.
First you must add, flour, cornmeal or spray the pan to make sure it slides off onto your pizza stone.

7. Spread out a thin layer of the cream. add the grated cheeses, and then the toppings.
Go lightly as the crust will not support much.

8. Bake in a VERY hot oven I go as high as I can go about 499 degrees till it is nice and brown.

It needs to get well browned to have that cracker like texture.
