Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 150 ml Warm water
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 800 g Onions
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Smoked bacon (diced, optional for additional flavor)
- 200 g Sour cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt (for filling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and olive oil, and knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, peel and finely slice the onions. In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and slightly caramelized (about 10-12 minutes). If using diced smoked bacon, add it to the skillet and cook until browned.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish or a 28 cm (11-inch) tart pan.
Roll out the dough into the shape of your baking dish or tart pan, making sure it’s slightly larger so you can create a small edge all around. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and press it gently into the corners and edges.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, ground nutmeg, ground black pepper, and salt until smooth. Stir in the cooked onions (and bacon, if using).
Spread the onion mixture evenly over the dough, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon.
Bake the Zwiebelkuchen in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the filling is set and slightly browned on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your sugar-free Zwiebelkuchen as a savory treat or meal!
