Method

  1. Dough

    Crumble the yeast into the lukewarm milk to dissolve it, then knead it with the flour, salt and oil. Form a soft, smooth dough, cover it and leave it to rise in a warm place.

    60 min
  2. Onions and bacon

    Cut the bacon into small cubes and render it over a low heat. Add the onions and fry them until glassy and lightly browned, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go.

    15 min
  3. Rolling out the dough

    Roll the risen dough out to the size of your baking tray and press it into a greased or oiled tray, gently pushing up the edges slightly.

  4. Topping

    Whisk the egg with the sour cream, salt and pepper. Spread the onion and bacon filling evenly over the dough, then pour the sour cream and egg mixture over the top.

  5. Baking

    Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees until golden brown, when the dough has set and the top has turned a rich colour.
