Serve it fresh from the oven, and watch it disappear in no time!
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms.
Knead the dough gently within the bowl for about 3-4 minutes until smooth (it will be a bit sticky, but that's okay).
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes to rise slightly.
While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Prepare the topping by mixing the crème fraîche with a pinch of nutmeg and ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a sheet of parchment paper into a thin rectangle or circle, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Distribute the sliced onions and pieces of cooked bacon evenly over the crème fraîche layer.
Carefully transfer the prepared flammkuchen on parchment paper onto a baking tray or the preheated pizza stone.
Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, slice into pieces, and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free Flammkuchen fresh and warm!
