Heat the baking surface completely
A short preheated sheet removes heat from the dough. At least 20 minutes preheat time improves the underside significantly.

Why this recipe works
Crispy pear Flammkuchen without wet crust
Pears should be ripe, but still firm. Cut them thin and cover the dough just before baking. Too much Crème fraîche or very juicy fruits make the crust soft. Heat baking tray or brick thoroughly and push the Flammkuchen directly onto the hot surface.
