03 — Method

Make the dough: mix the flour, salt, yeast, water and oil. Knead for 10 minutes.
Let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
Drain the fromage blanc in a cloth for 30 minutes.
Mix it with the cream and season with pepper and nutmeg.
Thinly slice the onions, blanch for 2 minutes in boiling salted water and drain.
Preheat the oven to 280°C (535°F), with a pizza stone if you have one.
Roll the dough out very thin into a rectangle on a floured baking sheet.
Spread with the cheese and cream mixture and scatter with the onions and bacon.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes: the edges should be charred.
Serve immediately, cut into pieces to eat by hand.
