Yield Makes 8 (first course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

For dough:
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/3 cup warm whole milk (105-115°F)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For filling:

1/4 pounds bacon, finely chopped
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 cup sour cream
2 large egg yolks
Equipment: a 9-inch springform pan
Accompaniment: green salad with mustard vinaigrette

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Stir together yeast, milk, and sugar in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment (or in a bowl to mix by hand) and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
  • Add flour, salt, egg, and butter and mix at low speed (or stir) until a dough forms. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 3 minutes (or knead by hand 5 minutes).
  • Sprinkle dough lightly with flour and cover bowl with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth). Let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Make filling while dough rises:
  • Cook onions and bacon in butter with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a 12-inch heavy skillet, covered, over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool onions.
  • Whisk together sour cream and yolks, then stir into onions.
  • Bake pie:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round. Fit dough into springform pan (stretching slightly if necessary to hang over edge) and spread filling evenly in it. Fold edges of dough over filling, leaving some filling exposed in center. Let pie stand 20 minutes at room temperature.
  • Bake until crust is golden-brown and filling is bubbling, about 11/4 hours. Cool slightly before serving.

Provided by The Hearty Boys

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 to 18 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 to 1 1/4 cups warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
10 anchovy fillets, optional
4 pounds Spanish onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To make the dough, put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil and salt. Stir together with a wooden spoon and slowly add the water until a dough begins to form. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide the dough into 2 balls, flatten into disks, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
  • To make the filling, pour the olive oil into a large pot and place it over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the anchovies and cook, stirring until they dissolve. Add the onions, salt and pepper, stir and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 20 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Grease the baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
  • On a well floured work surface, roll out 1 of the disks to about 1/8-inch thick rectangle to fit the size of the sheet pan and line the pan with the dough. Spread the filling out over the dough, roll out the second disk a little larger than the sheet pan and place it over the onions. Crimp the edges, brush with olive oil and cut vent slits into the top. Transfer the pan into the top half of the oven and bake until the dough is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool, slice and serve at room temperature.
