Ingredients

Servings

For the dough

  • 3 cups flour , sifted
  • 1 cup lukewarm water (at 97°F / 36°C)
  • 1 tablespoon dried yeast
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the cream mixture

Instructions

Dough

  1. Place the flour into the bowl of a food processor, and make a well in the center.
  2. In another bowl, dissolve the yeast in half the lukewarm water, and pour the mixture into the center of the well.
  3. Let stand 5 minutes.
  4. Add the oil and, using the dough hook, begin to mix while gradually incorporating the rest of the water.
  5. Add the salt, and knead for 10 minutes, until a smooth dough forms that comes away from the sides of the bowl.
  6. Cover the dough with a cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes in a warm place, away from drafts.

Cream mixture

  1. Using an electric whisk, beat together the cream ingredients for 2 minutes.

Assembly

  1. Preheat the oven to 525°F (275°C).
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Divide the dough into two pieces.
  4. Roll out each piece into a rectangle, round, or oval, about ½ inch (1cm) thick.
  5. Spread half the cream mixture over the first piece of dough, and the other half over the second.
  6. Distribute the onion rings and bacon over the entire surface of the two pieces.
  7. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes.
  8. Enjoy hot.
