Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 120 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Crème fraîche
• 50 grams Sour cream
• 1 large Onion
• 150 grams Bacon or lardons
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 pinch Nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, olive oil, and salt. Mix together until a dough forms, then knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, peel and thinly slice the onion. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the crème fraîche, sour cream, ground black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). This will be your creamy base.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 5

Once the dough has rested, divide it into two portions for easier handling. Roll out one portion very thinly on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle or circle, depending on your baking sheet or pizza stone shape.

Step 6

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 7

Spread a generous layer of the crème fraîche mixture onto the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Scatter the sliced onions evenly over the base, followed by the lardons or bacon.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the prepared Tarte Flambée onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and crisp, and the toppings are lightly caramelized.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately. Repeat the process with the second portion of dough if desired.
