Start by preparing the dough: In a bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the all-purpose flour, olive oil, and salt, and mix together until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place.
While the dough is rising, make the cashew cream: Soak the raw cashews in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, peeled garlic clove, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thin rectangular shape and transfer it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the cashew cream evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Slice the red onion into thin rings and dice the smoked tofu into small cubes.
Scatter the onion rings and smoked tofu pieces evenly across the top of the cashew cream.
Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Bake the Flammkuchen in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden.
Once baked, garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Cut into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and vegan Flammkuchen!
