Start by taking off your wedding ring to avoid getting it messy.

In a mixing bowl, combine plain flour, 2 teaspoons of dried yeast, and a pinch of salt.

Add 300 ml of warm water, reserving a little for later.

Mix with your hands until it starts to come together, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Drizzle a teaspoon of olive oil into a large mixing bowl and place the dough inside, covering it with cling film.

Let the dough rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, which can take about 1 hour or overnight for better flavor.

Once risen, knock back the dough to release some air and prepare to roll it out.

Flour a surface and roll out half the dough into a thin base.

In a bowl, mix together creme fraiche and Quark, seasoning with salt and pepper until smooth.

Slice spring onions, discarding the tough ends, and set aside.

Cube the gam steak, ensuring to cut away any fatty bits, and set aside.

Spread the creme fraiche mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough base.

Top with sliced spring onions and cubed gam steak, spreading them out evenly.

Preheat the oven and place a pizza stone inside to heat up.

Bake the flammkuchen in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
