Breitlings

Breitlings are a type of German baked good, typically a flatbread or pastry. The term can encompass a variety of forms, often described as a savory tart or pizza-like item. Common ingredients include a thin dough base, often yeast-leavened, topped with ingredients such as onions, bacon, and sour cream or crème fraîche. Other regional variations might include potatoes, mushrooms, or various cheeses. Breitlings are generally baked until golden brown and slightly crispy. They are often served as a snack, appetizer, or light meal. The name "Breitling" itself relates to the flat and broad nature of the baked good. While often associated with German cuisine, similar flatbread preparations can be found in other European countries. The preparation methods and specific toppings can vary significantly depending on the region and individual preferences. They are known for their simple yet satisfying flavor profile.
