Onion, Bacon and Cream Pizza
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon bread yeast
- 2 to 2-1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 ounces white onions, peeled and sliced paper thin
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- 6 ounces slab bacon, rind removed, cut in matchsticks
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1.
- To make the dough, pour the water into a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer.
- Mix in the yeast and 1 cup of the flour, mix, then let sit at room temperature until the mixture begins to bubble, about 30 minutes.
- Add the salt, stir, then add an additional cup of flour.
- The dough should be quite soft.
- Cover and let sit at room temperature until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours.
- 2.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- 3.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Heavily flour a work surface, and roll out the dough to a 15 x 11-inch rectangle (the dough should be paper-thin except at the edges, where it will be slightly thicker.)
- Carefully transfer the dough to a well-floured baking sheet.
- 4.
- Mix the onions and the cream together in a medium-sized bowl and spread half on the dough.
- Sprinkle half the bacon evenly over the onions and cream.
- Repeat with the remaining dough, onions, cream, and bacon.
- 5.
- Bake the pizzas in the center of the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the onions soften and begin to turn golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- If you can't fit both pizzas on the center rack of the oven, switch them halfway through baking.
- 6.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and slip them onto a work surface.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper, then cut into serving pieces.
