A savory Alsatian dish featuring a crisp crust topped with creamy ingredients, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces bacon lardons
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: fresh herbs like chives or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the water and olive oil, kneading until smooth. Cover and let rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough as thinly as possible into a rectangle or circle. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare the Topping: Spread the crème fraîche evenly over the dough. Sprinkle sliced onions, followed by the bacon lardons. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake for around 15 minutes or until edges are golden and bacon is crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven, let cool briefly, slice into pieces, and serve warm.

Notes

For a crispy crust, roll the dough thin and ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking.
