Steps

1

Dissolve the yeast in the water.
2

In a stand mixer bowl, add the flour, salt, and yeast, making sure the salt and yeast don't touch. Mix with the dough hook. Once a rough dough forms, add the softened butter. Mix until the butter is fully incorporated and the dough is smooth and forms a ball.
3

Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 1 hour.
4

Meanwhile, thinly slice the onions. In a skillet with a little oil or butter, cook the onions over very low heat, stirring often, until they turn translucent. Set aside.
5

Cut the bacon slices into lardons and set aside.
6

After 1 hour, roll out the dough thinly and place it in a tart pan.
7

For the topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the quark or Greek yogurt, sour cream, black pepper, and nutmeg.
8

Spread this mixture over the dough, then top with the bacon and onions as desired.
9

Bake for 8–9 minutes in an oven preheated to 480°F (250°C).
