Method
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it’s frothy.
- In a larger bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with the flour, salt, and softened butter. Mix until it forms a dough, then knead on a floured surface until smooth. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour in a warm area.
Cooking
- While the dough rises, heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- In a separate pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Assembling and Baking
- In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add the caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and caraway seeds to this mixture and stir everything together.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your springform pan. Place the dough in the pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides. Pour the onion filling over the dough.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Notes
To serve, slice the cake into wedges and consider pairing it with a fresh salad. Top with a dollop of plain yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
