Alsatian pizza
Alsatian pizza is a savory delicacy that blends Italian tradition with French influences, resulting in a unique culinary experience. With a crispy base and a generous topping of fresh ingredients, this pizza is ideal for a family dinner or a gathering with friends. Here’s how you can prepare it at home, step by step. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 15-20 minutes Total time: 40 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: - 400 g pizza dough (you can use store-bought dough or make it at home) - 200 g sour cream (preferably thick sour cream) - 200 g grated Gruyère cheese (or a combination with Emmental for a more complex flavor) - 150 g diced bacon (or pancetta for a finer taste) - 1 large onion, sliced thinly - 1 egg (optional, for a richer texture) - Salt and pepper to taste - Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley) for garnish Preparation: 1. Preparing the dough: If you choose to make the dough at home, mix 250 g of flour with 150 ml of warm water, 7 g of dry yeast, and a teaspoon of salt. Knead well and let it rise for 30 minutes. If using store-bought dough, ensure it is at room temperature before use. 2. Preheating the oven: Preheat the oven to 220°C (or 200°C for a fan oven). This will help achieve a crispy crust. 3. Cooking the bacon: In a skillet, add the diced bacon and fry over medium heat until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to absorb excess fat. 4. Sautéing the onion: In the same skillet, add the onion slices and sauté in the remaining bacon fat until translucent and slightly caramelized. This step will add a sweet and deep flavor to your pizza. 5. Assembling the pizza: On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spread the pizza dough into a circle or rectangle, as preferred. Evenly spread the sour cream over the dough, then sprinkle with grated cheese, fried bacon, and sautéed onions. If desired, you can crack an egg on top for a creamy touch. 6. Seasoning: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. If you want to add extra flavor, you can use dried herbs like oregano or basil. 7. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the cheese melts beautifully. 8. Serving: Once the pizza is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs for an attractive appearance and extra freshness. Suggestions and variations: Alsatian pizza can be customized according to your preferences. You can replace the bacon with ham, or add vegetables like mushrooms or peppers for a vegetarian option. You can also experiment with different types of cheese to achieve a unique flavor. This Alsatian pizza recipe is not only simple but also quick, perfect for a family dinner or a weekend lunch. Try this recipe and let yourself be carried away by the delicate flavors of France combined with Italian tradition!
Preparation
Flour, oil, egg yolk, salt, and water are mixed, and we knead a soft and flexible dough in two to three minutes. We let it rest for about five minutes. In the meantime, we clean the onion and cut it into rings, then slice the zucchini. We roll out a very thin dough (or three round pizzas), I place it directly on the baking paper... and then carefully transfer it to the tray, spread the dough with sour cream, sprinkle the onion, zucchini, and then sprinkle cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, and cheese. We salt and pepper it and bake at 220 degrees for a maximum of 10-15 minutes... A delight!
