Narrative:
At 400 ft on takeoff from runway 17R dfw cockpit started to fill with smoke. We put on oxygen masks, declared an emergency and turned back to the field. After turning off the recirculation fan the smoke dissipated. I call the flight attendant who said that the smoke had been from the forward galley oven, and he had stopped it. With the cabin and the cockpit clear of smoke there wasn't any need to evacuate/evacuation. It turned out to be grease on the oven burner.
