Notes
Thin crust: Flammkuchen is traditionally made with a very thin, yeast-free crust. Make sure you shape the dough thinly and limit the toppings to create a thin crust pizza.
Storage: Leftover German pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave.
