In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt.
Create a well in the center and pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
In a separate bowl, blend sour cream and cream cheese until smooth. Season with nutmeg and black pepper.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
Slice the red onion thinly. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Slice the zucchini and red bell pepper into thin strips.
Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle or oval, about 1/8-inch thick, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly on the rolled-out dough.
Top with an even layer of sliced onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the edges of the crust are crispy and golden brown.
Remove from oven, slice, and serve immediately.
