Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 125 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 200 grams Low sodium crème fraîche
- 100 grams Low sodium ricotta cheese
- 1 large Onion
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and instant yeast. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing to form a smooth dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 240°C (465°F).
In a separate bowl, mix together the low sodium crème fraîche and ricotta cheese. Add black pepper and nutmeg, stirring well to combine. Set aside.
Slice the onion thinly and cut the turkey bacon into small pieces.
After the dough has rested, roll it out thinly on a lightly floured surface, forming a large rectangle or circle to fit your baking sheet.
Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the crème fraîche and ricotta mixture evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Scatter the sliced onions and turkey bacon pieces evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped chives, slice, and serve warm.
