Prepare two types of dough: one leavened and one unleavened.

For the leavened dough, mix 225 grams of flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 7 grams of yeast in a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 125 milliliters of warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Knead the dough into a smooth ball, cover it, and let it rest for about an hour.

For the unleavened dough, mix 200 grams of flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1.5 teaspoons oil, and 110 milliliters of water in a bowl.

Knead the unleavened dough into a smooth ball, cover it, and let it rest for about half an hour.

Preheat the oven to 480°F (250°C).

Prepare the toppings by slicing half of a medium onion thinly and cutting 100 grams of thick cut bacon into strips.

In a bowl, combine 200 grams of creme fraiche with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste, mixing until smooth.

Once the dough has rested, roll it out into a thin rectangle.

Spread the seasoned creme fraiche evenly over the dough.

Scatter the sliced onions and bacon on top of the creme fraiche.

Transfer the prepared dough onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden and crispy.
