creme fraiche

1

Dissolve the yeast into the warm water and leave to activate.

2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, salt, sugar, olive oil, and activated yeast.

Mix on low speed until fully combined and smooth. Alternatively, knead the dough by hand for 5 to 10 minutes.

5

Fry the bacon lardons and sliced onions in a pan until cooked, then set aside to cool.

6

In a bowl, mix the creme fraiche with nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and ground black pepper.

7

Fire up the Ooni pizza oven to about 207 degrees Celsius (518 degrees Fahrenheit).

8

Transfer the risen dough to a lightly floured work surface and roll it into a thin oval shape.

9

Top the rolled dough with two or three heaped tablespoons of the creme fraiche mixture and spread evenly.

10

Top with the cooked onions and bacon lardons, and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.

11

Transfer the pizza to a peel and launch it into the Ooni pizza oven.

12

Cook for two to three minutes, turning to ensure even cooking.

13

Once the edges are crispy and golden brown, remove the flammkuchen from the oven and slice to serve.
