At the very least in Switzerland it's sometimes Flammkueche but otherwise Flammkuchen! I've never seen a round one before...
Aguete!
Thanks so much for letting me know! (& Danke!/Merci!/Grazie!/Engraziel!)
I have to confess I can't think when I might ever possibly have seen flammkuchen in CH, except maaaaaaaaybe in Basel?* which is far, far south on the Alsace/Elsass axis (as it were). It first really started to come up on my/our radar during various trips (for writing and other purposes) to Freiburg im Breisgau. As a result, I mostly tend to think of it as a BaWu/generally Badener thing. (And they do theirs round, up there! Go figure.) 😀
*I am now wracking my brains trying to think whether I might ever have seen it there during numerous Baseler Fasnacht trips. ...I'm thinking in particular of the crowd of food trucks/stalls that would routinely set up shop in/near the squares adjacent to Marktplatz to sell people kaesweie (...sp? ...because Baslerdeutsch is its own whole kettle of fish, seriously; where else do you go to get to see the letter "ÿ" with an umlaut? Repeatedly?😅) and the other goodies that go with the Three Best Days of the Year.

I like trains. I like their rhythm, and I like the freedom of being suspended between two places, all anxieties of purpose taken care of: for this moment I know where I am going.
