This fall Flammkuchen is a delicious way to celebrate the start of fall. It adds goat cheese, figs, walnuts and honey to the traditional Elsässer Flammkuchen. Then replaces the typical onion slices for leeks. Drink with a glass of crisp Riesling for the ultimate German fall experience.

Preheat the oven to the highest temperature (usually 500° Fahrenheit or 260° Celsius) and if you have a pizza stone, feel free to use it. Baking it on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper works fine as well.
Make The Dough
Mix together the dough ingredients. If it’s still sticky, add some more flour until you are able to work it with your hands. If it's too dry, add some more water.
