Flama-coosh.
It is an artisan product from the Alsace region of France, close to the German border. Strasbourg is the traditional home of Flammekueche.
It translates as cake in the flames. In times past the temperature of wood-fired ovens were tested by placing a small piece of thinly rolled dough into the oven when the flames had resided.
It is now prepared and available at an ever-increasing number of restaurants, clubs, cellar-doors, cafes and hotels. Refrigerated packs of Flammekueche bases are now available at select stores. Check our stockists page for locations and details. Home delivery in Adelaide and Melbourne is available too.

Follow our simple step-by-step guide to see for yourself just how easy it is to prepare a Flammekueche.
1 | Freeze
When not in use, keep your pack(s) of Flammekueche laying flat within your freezer.
2 | Separate
Do not use the the paper between the bases as baking paper. It is there to keep the bases separate from each other each within the pack.
3 | Heat
Whether you're using a conventional oven, pizza oven or enclosed BBQ, ensure it's hot (250°) with upper and lower heat before baking your Flammekueche.
4 | Spread
Coat the base thinly and evenly with the spread of your choice, leaving a slim rim around the edge.
5 | Top
Add your desired toppings, remembering the key to a great Flammekueche is that less is more!
6 | Bake
Until crisp in a conventional oven, pizza oven or enclosed BBQ under (250°) upper and lower heat.
7 | Serve
Ideally on a serving board, however this is up to you. Use a pizza cutter to slice into shareable pieces or however you desire!
8 | Enjoy
Of course we saved the best to the end. Enjoy with friends and family or just as good - by yourself!
