Start by making a yeast dough with flour, butter, salt, a little sugar, and warm milk.

Mix the yeast and sugar in a bowl, then add warm milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes to activate.

Add an egg to the mixture and then the butter and salt.

Knead the dough until smooth and let it rise until doubled in size, about 20-30 minutes.

Roll out the dough and place it in a baking pan, folding any excess over the edges.

Slice the onions thinly, avoiding sweet onions, and sauté them in a large pan with bacon and ham until translucent, about 10-15 minutes.

Add black pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds to the onion mixture.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Mix the sour cream into the onion mixture and spread it over the dough in the baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.
