Tarte Flambée

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the dough by combining flour and salt in a bowl. Add olive oil and warm water, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until elastic. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.

3. 3

   Cook diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add butter and sliced onions. Cook slowly over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes until golden and caramelized. Season with salt.

5. 5

   Roll the dough very thin on a floured surface, about 1/8-inch thick, forming a rectangular shape.

6. 6

   Transfer dough to parchment paper. Spread crème fraîche evenly over the surface, leaving a small border.

7. 7

   Season crème fraîche with white pepper and nutmeg. Top with caramelized onions and crispy bacon.

8. 8

   Slide the tarte flambée (on parchment) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.

9. 9

   Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and crispy.
