I started a thing where I try to hide a stylistic reference to another YT channel I like in each video. Can you spot this week's? :D Also, thumbs up for FLAME CAKE 🔥🥧👍
Wow that was fast 😂 Yes
@@mynameisandong I am glad I did not look at the answers right away. I tried to spot it but couldn't .. so now that it's out in the open, could you give a time stamp please, so that I can see it too?

It was the closing gesture that Alex (the French cooking guy) uses. Surprised that you two have not collborated on anyrthng. He is currently exploring the mysterious meatball.
What music do you use in your Videos?
As an Alsacian I loved how you honoured our French/German culture. It’s the first time I’ve seen an international video about Flammekueche!! Thank you.
lol i first read "as an asian"
Alsace forever !

bien d' accord , je me bats depuis 30 ans pour faire découvrir la tarte " flammée " et c' est un vrai plaisir de voir les gens découvrir ce bonheur simple mais tellement fort !
@@claire6650 Mache mal ohne mit nur Speck;) Greeting from the German /French border in Frieseneheim!
I'm so hungry after watching this...going to have to try making some flame cake this weekend.
Wait. You made a comment here and only 5 people noticed?
I feel like both channels could complement each other quite well in the future
lol what a coincidence to see you here.
Crispy crackery dough with sour cream and onions? SOLD! It's like having the dip baked ONTO the chip!
You forgot ham!
Woah! Maybe flame cake flavours is what inspired our Canadian potato chip flavour “sour cream and onions”! Mind blown!
@@sonatine3266 he was comparing it to sour cream and onion potato chips
I want to bring you home with ME. HORSERADISH !!!
Flame cake sounds like something they'd eat in the Fire Nation.
Flameo, hotman!
"But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked... and it was delicious!"
thank you for making my day
flame cake. hot. whaddaya know.
flamepie
How dare you provide us with a easy to make, tasty, and incredible alternative to Roman style pizza. It's travesty. I am so angry right now I am going to go make one.
@Sparticus Booker wrong itßs actually better than pizza in some cases and one of my favorite foods
@@itsfinnickbitch63 of cource you say that as a german
@@dieselvonderdorf6916 im pakistani but ok
@@itsfinnickbitch63 you sure ? when i watch you first videos you speack german
I think both are tasty. I wouldn't compare them because they are just really different 🤷😜
This man should have more subs. Informative, stylishly composed, and interesting content. I'm a big fan.
"Freshly ground nutmeg"
*Townsends has entered the chat*
TBH, I wonder why he did not an epsiode on this. Considering how many immigrants were from this region or regions that have dishes close to that, like Zwiebelkuchen, it´s a bit surprising.
:D

in school I learned the English word would be musk. Even my cousin who is half British only knows musk as the word for it
I love this comment😂😂
An all you can eat Flammkuchen restaurant near my house servers one just with dough, Schmand, cherrys and then they flambé it at your table with some Kirschwasser. BOY LET ME TELL YOU!!
@@jbconnor3 yes ;)
All u can eat tarte flambée at usually garbage.. Come to Alsace and taste a proper one!
@@jbconnor3 u can definitely have good tarte flambée in munster, that's Alsace after all. But avoid at all costs "all u can eat" chains. Just go to small restaurants, flams are cheap anyway
@@jbconnor3 chains use cheap ingredients and since an authentic tarte flambee has 3 or 4 max ingredients, u can't go cheap on these
Restaurants which serve Flammkuchen are not so common where I live. So all you can eat chains are pretty much all we have in terms of Flammkuchen...
As a german i laughed so hard at 3:32
came here for this
German's laugh?

*schmand*
Schmand 🤤
Schmand ist geil
Schmand im Ohr ist aber nicht schön ...
You made me laugh out loud... God 😂
Came for the flame cake, stayed for the Schmand.
I love Flammkuchen! Part of my family lives in Alsace and we always visit the local "Bahnhofsgaststube" for eating Flammkuchen.
They garnish the apple version with Calvados an flambé the whole thing.
It's so delicious.
At home we are using a baking stone. This makes the flat bread extra crispy.
A turned-over sheet pan, preheated in the oven, works as well if you don't have a pizza stone. Makes a huge difference in the outcome of the flammkuchen's texture!
Wow, I’ve been making Flammkuchen for years now without realizing it. I was just calling it ghetto pizza, and make it with stuff in my pantry since I live forty minutes from the nearest pizza place, and no one would deliver.
the good old ghetto pizza :D Your comment made me smile, but it also means that you are a kinda smart cook!
Ghetto pizza is a name that will stick! lol
My lazy-mans version of ghetto pizza is a large slice of bread, ketchup, pepperoni (or ham) and cheese bake until cheese melted.
My ghetto pizza is made from tomatoe paste and grated cheese on tortillas 🙈
Damn that name is awesome ;D
The best Flammkuchen I had was topped with thinly sliced pumpkin, goat cheese, drizzled honey and served with some rucola. Sooo good :)
Also I make the apple one regularly, always a special treat.
I’m living in saarland a region near France and we have Flammkuchen everywhere. There are Flammkuchen-all-you-can-eat-restaurants and they serve all varieties of it.
A man needs a location x)
Flammings Flammkuchenhaus? ;)
They also do all you can eat in France as well. Definitely great as long as there are a few options to choose from so it doesn't get boring.
Verdammt ich will auch nen all you Can eat flammkuchen resterant :( scheiß Sachsen
Wow. 🤤
I was a brazilian little boy that lived 4 years in Strasbourg because my parents went there and we called it by the french name, Tarte Flambé. It was my favorite food rom my childhood and everytime I went back to France or Germany I had to go down memory lane and eat one!
My GF and I (both half germans, me being from the alsace region) are actually calling these "flame cakes" since we both work with internationals and had to translate it a couple times and same as you we both just really liked that descriptive name and it stuck.
Flammkuchen is my favorite German dish I met in Germany. Thanks for sharing!
Damn, I make Flammkuchen quite often, yet for some reason I never made the dough myself, the 99cent store bought dough isn't that bad (unlike store bought pizza dough, bleh!). Seeing how easy and convenient that thing is to make.... guess I'm going to do it myself from now on!
same here
worse is ... i done that recipe exatly like that because i had cheese and had no sauce... also no creme fresh.. and the dough was like that.. i blame me calling that a pizza now XD since it has a name already XD flame cake it is!!!
tried it, I don't know why he says that, but it really doesn't work, I don't advice anyone to try doing it without yeast
@@Augustus_Imperator you probably did it wrong lol ... this can be made even in a PAN without oven ... it must be super slim and yeast is not needed because you want a crusty slimmy bread for this recipe and not a fluffy version
@@MsTatakai of course it's not fluffy nor bready, it's without yeast, and it can be done in a pan like some kind of middle eastern bread or tortilla, but I don't know if it can be done in a oven. I cook every day since 10+ years and I totally love it and believe me, I know a thing or two, and I always try to learn, never tried something like this without yeast, and now I know why lol. it will be either uncooked, too hard or it will break.
Italian here
We don't usually even try to make pizza at home as it's basically impossible to get a good resoult with the low temperatures of a home oven so i guess i'll be trying "flame cake" instead, it does look very good indeed
è stato molto difficile non rispondere a tono dopo aver sentito all'inizio che potrebbe essere meglio della pizza, per fortuna mi sono trattenuto :')
LOVE the bowl/glass lid combo for proofing!
Have you seen it sold anywhere in the meantime?
For a vegetarian Flammkuchen I highly recommed to put some smoked paprika to your Crème Fraîche. It is a perfect substitute for ham in terms of flavour.
Btw, I have been waiting for this video for ages. Flammkuchen is one of the underappreciated and easiest dishes ever. (And my flatmates still use store bought dough, which drives me crazy)
Lieblingsvariation ist mit Fetakäse, Rosmarin und Honig :D
YASSS
Für mich Ziegenkäse statt Fetakäse. Aber mit Feta ist auch sehr gut!
Ja, statt Feta bitte Ziegenkäse + extra Feigen
Oh das ist so lecker ❤
Dazu noch ein paar grob gehackte Walnüsse
Protip for the Vegans out there: Thanks to the Nobel Prize level science of Dr Oetker you just need Creme Vega and you have the most important ingredient for a Flammkuchen covered.
thank you
Can confirm. Tastes basically the same as Crème fraîche
@@Esablaka I use that stuff for Tsatziki as well as for my infamous "Motherf**ing Quiche of Sorrows" (it's like a boss from a Dark Souls computer game: majestic, disturbing and seemingly impossible to beat, thus the name). Dr Oetker deserves a Nobel Prize for inventing it.
@@TheMovingEye I personally ain't a vegan but I know ( and often cook with/for) them. It's great for tons of dips too. Just add some spices and ya suddenly have a nice dip for some vegetables or some flatbread. Another incredible vegan replacement product: the Naturata Vegan Mayonnaise. Its fucking amazing. Better than most non vegan mayonnaise i have tried (though there are quite a few vegan mayonnaise options out there now... this one is still by far my favourite. ).
We don't have that in the UK...I was wondering what else could work :(
direkt sympathisch der typ
Oh my God finally I see more attention brought to Flammkuchen! It's SO GOOD, I had it a few times while I visited South Germany and it's so good and easy to make at home. Thanks Andong!
Please make a shirt that says "Double Allium all the way" and "Triple Allium Power"
+1, +2, +3 orders from this guy
Being far from my home in Elsass, Flamekuchen is always the one thing i miss the most.... your video makes me just want to fly back.. hahah nice video...
OMG! I'm so happy i got to see this channel just now. Watching your vids... I have a new addiction.
saying hello from Philippines!
Hab ewig kein Flammkuchen mehr gemacht danke für die Inspiration
I've been to italy 3 different ocasion, went to 7 cities including naples, ate pizza in all of them, then on the same trip I went to germany and for the first time, tried this thing, and i'm telling you from the bottom of my heart this is better than any pizza in italy(from ones that I ate)
Best part of the Christmas market season on the French German border, flammkuchen and gluhwein.
Flame cake, in the true spirit of European collaboration!
I had those in an Alsatian restaurant in Paris and they have sooo many varieties! Some of the traditional Alsatian ones have sweet cream on top which was a very new experience for a pizza enthusiast like me.
I was just about to start a Pizza dough. Think I will try this out instead!
@@AR-GuidesAndMore It turned out good I actually am back on the video to refresh myself on the recipe to make it again haha!
Flammkuchen and Federweißer, so simple but yet so good!
What is also very delicious is Elsässer Sauerkraut (made in a roman pot) and Pfälzer Saumagen, maybe something you could do a video on later.
Foodies unite!
That's some very advanced, deep German food!! Love it. Only heard of it, never tried. Did try Federweisser though, cheers to that!! 🍻
@@mynameisandong Cheers Bro, love your videos. There are still some german dishes that i never saw on a travel or food show, like Oldenburger Grünkohl or the ones mentioned above, maybe give those a try. Big up! ;)
@@tigeriussvarne177 Oldenburger Grünkohl
For a sweet version you can also top it with raisins, Apple and almond slices, i had that on a christmas market in Frankfurt last year and it was realy delicious
I was stationed In Wiesbaden, Germany 2013-2015 and I went to a few festivals and this was my favorite! im going to make this with my daughter seems incredibly easy.
Frickin' awesome, Andong raising international awareness for Flammekueche :D. This always felt special eating thist at home and I would hassle my mom (who is from Lorraine) to make it instead of pizza for movie nights 😁
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Flammenkuchen should be way more famous.
Ahahah as a person who lived in Strasbourg for very long i must say : they really take the flammekuche serious there. I guess we ate them about twice a week. :)
Ainsi que les bretzels, la bière, le schnaps, et les fêtes étudiantes... putain j'adore Strasbourg !
I cannot WAIT for flammkuchen night! Definitely going to make this in the very near future. Looks so easy and amazing!
I really thought Flammkuchen is pretty hard to make. Now I'm sure I can do it 😳 and that's all thanks to you. You even got me to do the Naruto Ramen you made for Malwanne and I (nearly 😀 added a little to much Miso) nailed it. Maybe I'll do Flammkuchen for Valentine's Day 🤔
danke!!! I really love this recipe because it reminds me my times as an student in Karlsruhe!! thank you again!!!
This video saved me from the epicurious 3 day pizza dough. And 5 hour sauce.
You saved years of my life!✨💫
I'm all over this tomorrow Andong, your recipies rock
I LOVE Flammkuchen!! They remind me of many motorcycle trips through our beautiful Germany… And remember, as with most baking products; the first one you make may be delicious, but the ones you make after that will be even better! I have spent a lot of time trying to master pizzas, croissants, French baguettes, etc. and the common experience is that the more often you make it, the more magic you ‘magically’ add … Guten Apetit from The Netherlands Andong!
Edit: I rewatched the video to try and spot the reference to the unknown channel, but I could not find it. I like the idea though …
Stumbled across this video and learn the history of the bake i have made for decades, my great aunt taught me to make this back in the 1981. It has become my staple for fridge clearing of leftovers, chopped fine in a food processor. My pesonnel favorite is with grated smoked sausage, part freeze the sausage and grate on the large holes of a box grater in a nice thick layer and buried under enough mixed grated cheese [Gouda, Edam, Emmental] to make a cardiologist have a stroke.
Schmand
"You schmand"
"What a schmand"
always good to have a new insult in the repertoire
"What a f**king schmand!"
"He's such a schmand. Can't stand him."
Try Schmock, sound similar and is an actual Insult :D
"So'n Schmand" is actual german swearing
Schmantig is actually an insult ive been using for a weile. It means something between gross und greasy
@@plt927 actually Schmand is just the German word for sour cream.... I am German and I never heard it as an insult...
A few months ago I ate the classic version in a Strasbourg restaurant, but topped with some Munster cheese, which is also from the region - absolutely wonderful, I fully recommend you try it out if you can get your hands on this stuff!
As a german person, I approve the concept of Flammkuchen being the new Pizza
Enjoyed this in Switzerland. Can’t wait to make this at home.
5:49 a few "drops" of vanilla extract you say. That's gotta be a pretty sweet flame cake
@Krakra Kranich lol for real. I'm not one for sweets to begin with, but that seemed a little excessive xD
Depends on if the extract is sweetened or not, doesn’t it? Admittedly, I haven’t been able to find one like that in my local supermarket in Berlin, but back home in the US I think the unsweetened kind was generally the most common.
Vanilla extract isn't sweet at all.
@@d4n4nable was still more than i expected him to add lol
i was hoping someone noticed this lmao, when he said "Few drops" I laughed out loud
Reminds me of Langos from Hungary. I'm American, but my family has been making it for decades. We bake it, so it's almost like this. We often just have it with butter, but when I visited Budapest last year, they topped it with a variety of ingredients, usually sour cream, like this flammekuche.
Flammkuchen is so delicious.AND YES MORE DELICIOUS THAN PIZZA!!1!11
no flammkuchen sucks almost made me puke when i tried it!!
I am a german girl i dont like Flammkuchen i love Pizza
@@ek9750 Where did you get it ?
ps: after 7 years in Alsace I have never seen one with leeks, or even chivies.
This is getting bumped up to the top of my "soon to make" list, thank you!
I love flammkuchen, but nothing beats a really good pizza imo. Keep up the good work! Lobe ur content. Really looking forward meeting you randomly in the streets of berlin :D
Love your energy!!! And me some Flammkuchen. Will be trying in our new Ooni Pizza Oven tonight...LOVE!
"Flammkuchen is more delicious than Pizza!"
Pizza Lovers are gonna rage so hard.
He's dead to me. DEAD TO ME.
I love pizza, but I think I really do like Flammkuchen more. But like everything some variery is nice =)
Pizza is pretty overated
Can't be angry if I hadn't tried it yet
he is just delusional or doesnt know real italian pizza ( not that chicago or NY style "pizza")
I ate this in Strasbourg and Colmar. This is nice and well worth a try. A nice alternative to Italian pizza.
As someone who speaks French, German and English, I can say that French (especially talking about food) sounds like you're getting ready for a heavy lovemaking session, while German (talking about most anything, but especially food) sounds like you're getting angry about whose turn it is to take out the garbage. Love this video, Andong!
Dude respect this a really good food related channel. The history behind all these amazing dishes is fascinating.
Make something dutch, like a kapsalon👌🏼
Uuuuuh sounds good!!
Kebab chips n cheese
@@mynameisandong its truly amezing
Watched your video today and was inspired to give it a go. One tip from me, try dropping an egg or two into the dough mix which will make it rise just a touch. It probably isn't flammkuchen if you do that, but my wife said it was the best pizza base she ever tasted :)
ne geile version von flamkuchen ist mit gorgonzola wallnuss und birne
Bonjour 👋🏻
I am coming exactly from the Region Alsace in France.
So I can confirm that your video is following le original recipe.
Only the “ leek “ is not used in the traditional recipe but it is a detail.
Great video and great introduction of the history of this tart from Alsace
À bientôt 👋🏻
Traditionally you’d sweat off the „speck“ and don’t use any leeks. ;)
And for the Apple one: you’d usually get it flanmbeed with calvados.
Most variations are pretty good though.
> leaks
*Leeks. Leaks are what happens when you puncture your water supply pipe :p
In Vino Veritas oops.
here here :)
Don't use any leeks?!
*Wales has left the chat*
@@donkmeisterAncient Romans left the chat
Now i know what i gonna cook these days. Usually i buy readymade dough or ready made flammkuchen. But i gonna try your recipe for a change. Gonna make it vegan.
Finally! All the chi-chi pizza places make it this way. Can't really find the recipe. This is awesome. Soon my kitchen be flammin' away!
On english please
„Flämcake"
Jk bro, really nice Video
There’s a restaurant called Otto’s in Fredericksburg Texas that makes this. And it’s better than any pizza I’ve ever had. It’s very addicting
Video: *exists*
American TH-cam Algorithm: wait a minute... who are you?
Had Flammekuche on holiday in Riquewihr and it was amazing! It has become my staple homemade "pizza"
my goodness i never heard of this food. Thanks for the video. You speak very well!
Ich vermisse ständig die Flammkuchen Restaurants in Leinfelden-Echterdingen in Baden-Württemberg, vor allem die Zimt-Zucker mit Butter Flammkuchen. Living in the US just isn't the same. I love what you do, and I hope you keep making content. Also, as a half German, half American bloke, I have to compliment your English skills. You're truly great at linguistics, and your accent is very natural and isn't distracting at all. Again, love the content to death. Wish I had as much of a love for cooking as you clearly do.
Du machst mich so hungrig!
I was surprised Flammkuchen is so easy to make, so I had to try. One, it turned out delicious. Two, you were right on with the time: 45 minutes after I started, the edges began to brown
Andong, I recently moved to Germany (for a month now) from Italy, and one of the first things I tasted was Flammkuchen. The Germans have converted me and I prefer that to pizza. Also I'm so glad I found your channel, I love your content and you're making me want to cook a lot more often
Ich liebe flammkuchen! I loved flammkuchen when I was living in Germany. What I do now is making pizzas with pita bread for a similar result (not the same!). But today I am making a "coca" from my childhood.
Danke für das super Rezept - der Flammkuchen schmeckt authentisch wie im Elsass! Great and original taste.
I make Flammkuchen with schmand, onions, bacon, small kassler stripes, feta and gratin cheese on top. Everyone who tasted it loved it.
I tend to use a 50/50 mix of Schmand and Creme Fraice with Paprika, Chipotle and Garlic. And mix Hickory or oak smoked slat into the dough for a wood oven taste. Its then topped with red and yellow onions as well as some leek and thick cut bacon. Bake it at ~250-300°c in my grill on a stone. BBQ style Flammkuchen
I made this the day before yesterday and it is absolutely amazing. It may replace pizza in our household, not even joking!
Awesome! Friday night is our pizzanight at home, but next friday, I'll be trying this.
I went to germany en france especially for this dish multiple times. And tonight i'm making the traditional, the salon with rucola (rocket) (but both with cheese aswell) and the applepie-version. Thanks dude!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! WONDERFUL!
Thank you!!!!!!! Many years ago on vacation with my wife in Zurich we stumbled on a Flame Cake at a random restaurant, we felt in love and never tried it again.
I’m on it!
DEFINITELY trying this soon
Flammkuchennacht sounds.. Pretty good.
Flammküchen is brilliant i will try this myself. Grtz from The Niederlande ☺️
Im glad i stumbled across this video, i had this while at a fantasy event in europe and loved it :D now i can make it mysself!
tarte flambée= flame pie! Love it.
I've always been interested into knowing more about Flammkuchen since my trip to Strasbourg, a long time ago. Thanks a lot for this video! I'll surely try it at home!
Really cool explaned what Flammkuchen is and how you make it :D You have a really good german :D with no accent and than i see you are german :). Ha super gemacht. Now i have to test myself Flammkuchen with your different choices. Really good video. Greetings from Ulm, South Germany
I appreciate how you embrace veggie options :)
Hi, your video is so inviting that I decided to prepare the vegan Flammkuchen.
I was sorry not to be able to try this recipe.
Thanks you so much for sharing!
Greetings from Italy!
Thanks dud. I finally got some ideas. Great job.
As a southern german I am super happy to see others appreciate Flammkuchen too! Flammkuchen is great
