In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm area for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, slice the onion thinly and chop the turkey bacon into small pieces.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
Mix the low-fat crème fraîche, Greek yogurt, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
After 30 minutes, roll out the dough on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet into a very thin rectangle or oval.
Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly over the dough.
Distribute the sliced onions and turkey bacon evenly over the top.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives.
Cut into pieces and serve hot.
