For the dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons canola, vegetable, or olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup room temperature water
For the topping:
1 medium onion
4 ounces sliced bacon (about 3-4 strips)
1/2 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper
Nutmeg
For the dough place the ingredients in a mixing bowl and knead the dough with your food processor or by hand for a few minutes till the dough is smooth and elastic. Then cover the bowl with the dough with a clean kitchen towel.
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 500º F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the bacon strips into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Peel the onion and slice thin rings.
Roll the dough out on a work surface (flowered) into an oval measuring about 10 inches wide by 15 inches long. Transfer the dough to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the dough evenly with the sour cream, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with the onions and the bacon.
Bake the Flammkuchen for 12 minutes or until it’s brown and crispy.
