Is there a gluten-free tarte flambée base?
All of the bases we currently offer contain gluten. Neither the wheat bases nor the spelt bases are gluten-free.
Freeze tarte flambée bases
For a longer shelf life, our tarte flambée bases can be frozen very well. They can be stored for up to 10 months. If they are then gently thawed in the refrigerator, ideally overnight, the high quality of the product is maintained. If you want to freeze open packages of tarte flambée bases, we recommend our useful accessories.Ziplock bags.
Vegan tarte flambée
All of our tarte flambée bases are vegan according to the recipe. They contain only flour, water, oil, and salt. A good tarte flambée dough needs nothing more. Whether the tarte flambée is vegan depends on the topping. For example, use a vegan cream or strained tomatoes and vegan ingredients for the topping to make a vegan tarte flambée.
Questions about preparing tarte flambée
Do not bake tarte flambée with fan
Tarte flambée should be baked using top/bottom heat, as they dry out when cooked using fan-assisted ovens. This results in a hard, rather than crispy, crust. Depending on your oven, it may be best to place the tarte flambée stone or baking sheet on the second rack from the bottom.
Optimal baking temperature
The recommended temperature for a stone oven is approximately 280 to 300°C. When using a household oven, use the maximum possible temperature (usually 250°C). Allow the oven to preheat thoroughly beforehand.
Is the release paper suitable as baking paper?
Tarte flambée is best baked directly on a baking stone. The paper would quickly brown in a stone oven and even catch fire in a wood-fired oven. Furthermore, the release paper is not entirely made of paper and can burn if exposed to excessive heat, negatively affecting the flavor of the tarte flambée.
Preparing the tarte flambée
Both theIngredients (cream and topping)The ingredients needed to make tarte flambée, as well as the tarte flambée itself, are easy to prepare. You can also spread and (partially) top the tarte flambée base about 20 minutes before baking. Only toppings with a high water content—such as tomatoes—should be placed on the tarte flambée shortly before baking, as otherwise the dough will soften and stick to the stone/sheet pan, potentially tearing.
Use frozen tarte flambée?
We generally advise against putting the tarte flambée bases in the oven from frozen. The baking results will be much better if the dough has been gently thawed beforehand. To do this, let the package thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or carefully remove individual bases and thaw them in the refrigerator. This allows the frozen water to redistribute evenly throughout the dough, allowing the dough to "relax," and ensuring the best baking results. If you are in a hurry, carefully remove the dough pieces one by one, place them on the baking tray, and let them thaw for a few minutes. Only then should you add the toppings to the tarte flambée.
Questions about ovens
Is an extractor hood necessary for baking tarte flambée?
The tarte flambée itself doesn't produce much smoke during baking. Smoke only occurs when ingredients touch the stone and burn. Therefore, installing an extractor hood isn't absolutely necessary. However, especially when working near the counter, it may still be advisable, as it can improve the overall air quality in the room.
Tarte flambée from the oven
An oven with firebrick is best. Whether it's heated electrically or with wood depends on your local conditions and your preferences. Regardless of the heating method, stone ovens reach the high temperatures ideal for baking tarte flambée, namely 280 to 300°C. However, good results can also be achieved in a household oven: either a tarte flambée stone or a standard baking sheet can be used. A baking temperature of at least 250°C is recommended.
Does smoke develop when baking tarte flambée?
The tarte flambée itself produces very little smoke during baking. However, avoid getting any toppings on the stone if possible. This will burn and can cause excessive smoke.
Spare parts for tarte flambée oven
You may need replacement parts for your oven. Replacement bulbs are the most common. New thermostats, rocker switches, or rotary knobs are also occasionally required. Transport to event locations or improper cleaning (note: the ovens must not be cleaned with water) can also damage the firebricks and require replacement. In rare cases, the doors or handles may also need to be replaced. New heating coils are required much less frequently. All necessary spare parts for the tarte flambée ovens are available. Contact us if you need assistance.
How do you make tarte flambée in a home oven?
You can also make good tarte flambée at home using your household oven. There are two ways to do this: You can bake the tarte flambée either on an existing baking tray or on a tarte flambée stone. This conducts the heat better than a tray and absorbs the liquid in the batter more effectively, resulting in a crispier baked result. The following applies to both options: The tray or the tarte flambée stone, placed on a wire rack, is placed in a cold oven on the middle or second-to-lowest rack and preheated to the highest setting (approx. 250°C). You can bake on the tray as soon as it reaches the right temperature, but you should preheat the stone for another ten to fifteen minutes to ensure it is thoroughly heated. The tarte flambée base is then baked without baking paper for five to eight minutes until golden brown. The tarte flambée is ready when the base no longer sags when lifted.
Stacking several tarte flambée ovens
Especially the small 230 VTarte flambée ovensSuitable for stacking: Please note that a fireproof plate (available at any hardware store) must be placed between the ovens to prevent damage to the feet of the upper oven. The low height of the "Elsass 2" ovens (35 cm without feet) ensures safe operation even when two units are stacked.

This applies to the wheat used in Maître Flambée's tarte flambée. No other additives or preservatives are added, as we have supported the Slow Food philosophy since 1993 and use only the finest ingredients.
Questions about tarte flambée accessories
Prepare tarte flambée properly for baking
Tarte flambée is a dish that can be prepared quickly and easily with the right equipment and ingredients. All you need for a classic Tarte flambée is a high-quality pastry base, good cream, bacon, and onions. To prepare it, remove the tarte flambée base from the package and place it on a baking or preparation board without the release paper. Then spread it with the tarte flambée cream. It is important to leave a small edge free so that the cream does not run onto the stone or baking sheet and dirty it. The tarte flambée should then be covered evenly but not too generously with the prepared ingredients. Vegetables that take a long time to cook should be pre-cooked if necessary. Now, with a slight jerking motion, transfer the topped tarte flambée from the baking board to the well-preheated stone or baking sheet. After 3-5 minutes, depending on the temperature and oven, you can remove the finished tarte flambée using an oven peel. You can also use the oven peel to check whether the tarte flambée is done: When it no longer bends downwards on the sides of the peel but stands up nicely and has a delicious golden brown color, it's perfectly baked. Now cut the tarte flambée into manageable pieces on the tarte flambée board and enjoy.
Are there serving boards in different shapes?
We also offer a matching serving board for all tarte flambée pans.Tarte flambée boards made of birch woodare available in oval, round, square, and midi shapes. Our bamboo tarte flambée boards are available in square and midi sizes.
Tarte flambée to go
With our takeaway boxes, you can also offer your guests tarte flambée to go. While the thin crust means tarte flambée doesn't stay hot as long as a pizza, for example, it can be easily reheated in a hot oven or enjoyed cold. Our bases stay crispy even after cooling.
Questions about tarte flambée topping
Alternatives to tarte flambée cream
As an alternative to the typical white tarte flambée cream, a variety of variations can be used. From tomato sauce or pesto to lactose-free creams and vegan creams and spreads, there are no limits to creativity. Simply experiment and find out how your guests enjoy their crispy tarte flambée best. The only thing to note is that the cream or spread has an appropriate fat content to ensure a good bond between the base and the spread. In ourRecipe sectionyou will find new ideas and popular classics.
Vegan tarte flambée topping
TheTarte flambée dough piecesare vegan according to the recipe and can therefore be used without restriction for vegan purposes. For example, try the popular "Tarte Italienne" tarte flambée pizza with tomato sauce and top it with grilled vegetables, pine nuts, and arugula. Pesto and other vegan sauces and spreads can also be used as a base for the tarte flambée topping. The important thing is that there is a sufficient fat content so that the tarte flambée doesn't become dry and the spread combines well with the tarte flambée dough. In our categoryRecipesyou will find further suggestions.
Vegetarian tarte flambée topping
Delicious tarte flambées can also be wonderfully made with vegetarian ingredients. The tarte flambée bases are vegan according to the recipe. You can be as creative as you like with the toppings. As an alternative to the traditional Alsatian tarte flambée "bacon and onion," you can use any kind of vegetable, cheese, nuts, or even fruit. In ourRecipesThere are some suggestions for this.
Preserving tarte flambée cream by freezing
The tarte flambée cream can be frozen without any problems. Ensure that there is at least two centimeters of air space between the cream and the lid. Containers should not be stacked during the freezing process – this allows the cream to expand optimally. Otherwise, the container may burst. Once the cream is completely frozen, the containers can easily be stacked to save space. You can also transfer the cream to a suitable container before freezing. Allow sufficient time for the cream to thaw. Place the cream in your cold storage or refrigerator for 1-2 days to thaw it gently. Never place it in warm water to speed up the process. Once the cream has thawed, stir it gently with a spoon or spatula (not a whisk) to ensure the frozen water is evenly distributed throughout the cream. Freezing will cause the cream to change its consistency slightly. It will become slightly softer, and tiny lumps of fat and protein may remain. However, this does not affect the flavor or the baking properties of the cream.
Tarte flambée topping lactose-free
Tarte flambée can also be made lactose-free. Lactose-free dairy products such as sour cream, crème fraîche, and quark are available in stores, and you can quickly and easily make a delicious lactose-free tarte flambée cream. Refine it with ourspice mix. Make sure you use lactose-free ingredients (such as lactose-free cheese) when adding the toppings, and you'll have a delicious, lactose-free tarte flambée.
