Recipe Introduction
Makes 2 tartes.
List of Ingredients
- Dough:
- 4-5+ cups sifted flour
- 2 packages yeast
- 1 1/2 cups hot water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
-
- Toppings:
- 2 lbs white onions, sliced very thin, sauteed for 5 minutes
- 1 1/2 lbs bacon, in small pieces, fried until limp
- 2 lb small curd creamed cottage cheese
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- With a wooden spoon, force the cheese through a sieve into bowl. Beat in heavy cream, parsley, garlic, salt and white pepper to taste. Allow to sit together for a few hours.
- Make the dough: Place 4 cups flour, yeast and salt into the workbowl. Combine 3 tablespoons oil with hot tap water. Turn on motor and pour liquid through the feed tube. Add more flour as needed and process until smooth and kneaded. (when dough is pressed, it will spring back.) Cover and allow to rise until doubled in bulk. Punch down, allow to rest for 10 minutes, divide in half and roll out into two rounds, about 1/4" thick. (Turn the dough from time to time to keep from shrinking. Try not to roll past edges. Using your fingers, push dough from center to edges, so that edges are at least twice as thick as the center. Preheat oven to 450 degrees at least 30 minutes before baking. Preheat pizza stone at the same time.
- Place dough round on cornmealed pizza peels or pen. Spread with cheese, salt and pepper, half the onions and half the bacon. Place onto preheated stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes on the uppermost rack or until the dough on the rack is a rich gold with a few brown specks.
Final Comments
Note: This would also be good with a goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and olives.
