Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Put the flour in a bowl and press a depression in the middle. Crumble the yeast and dissolve with the sugar in 150 ml of lukewarm water. Pour into the flour bowl and mix with some flour from the edge and cover. Cover and leave to rise for 10-15 minutes in a warm place. Put 3 tablespoons of oil and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt on the edge of the flour and knead all ingredients from the middle to a smooth yeast dough. Cover the dough and let it rise for 20 - 30 minutes. Cut bacon into fine strips.

2. 2

   Peel and chop onions. Heat the remaining oil in a pan and fry the bacon in it. Add onions and braise briefly. Leave to cool. Whisk 3 egg yolks and sour cream (except for a teaspoon). Season with pepper and a little salt. Knead yeast dough again and cut in half. Roll out each piece thinly, slightly larger than half the baking tray (21x36 cm). Dust with flour and fold up loosely. Place the dough on the baking tray (32x38 cm) in such a way that the edges lap about 2 cm over the edges. Then fold up the dough again. Spread half of the bacon and onion mixture on the dough. Fold the edges onto the filling and press on.
