Time 3h

Yield Sixteen to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup lukewarm water
2 1/2 teaspoons, or 1 package, dry yeast
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 medium onions, sliced into thin rounds
1 cup cottage cheese or ricotta
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 ounces slab bacon, rind removed, cut into matchstick-size pieces

Steps:

  • Combine the water, yeast and one cup of the flour in a large mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly blended and set aside to proof the yeast, about five minutes.
  • Once proofed, add the salt, then begin adding the remaining flour, little by little, until the dough is too stiff to stir. Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and begin kneading, adding additional flour if the dough is too sticky. Knead until the dough is smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes.
  • Once kneaded, place the dough in a bowl, cover, and let rise at room temperature until double in bulk, about one hour.
  • Punch down and let rise again, covered, until double in bulk, about one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Combine the onions, cheese, creme fraiche, salt and pepper and let sit for 15 minutes to soften the onions.
  • Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle to fit a large baking sheet, measuring about 12 1/2 by 15 inches. Place the dough on the baking sheet.
  • Spread the onion mixture over the dough right to the edge. Sprinkle the bacon evenly over the top, then sprinkle generously with pepper.
  • Bake just until the dough is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

I'm not a huge fan of onions, but I still really enjoyed this recipe. The crust was crispy and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less onions next time.
