Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons Ice water
• 150 grams Full-fat sour cream
• 150 grams Crème fraîche
• 150 grams Grated Gruyère cheese
• 150 grams Smoked bacon (cubed)
• 1 Yellow onion, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together. Add the cubed unsalted butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and prepare the topping. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and crème fraîche until smooth.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the bacon cubes until slightly crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion until soft and translucent. Set aside.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Transfer it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Spread the sour cream and crème fraîche mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the cream mixture, followed by the sautéed onions and crispy bacon.

Step 8

Season with ground black pepper and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves if desired.

Step 9

Fold the edges of the dough inward to form a rustic crust and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Allow the French Flamme Bacon Cheese Pizza Pie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your French-inspired feast.
