How to Make Authentic German Onion Pie Schwabischer Zwiebelkuchen
In a large bowl, add 500g flour and 50g sugar. Make a well in the center.
Crumble 20g fresh yeast (or 7g active dry yeast) into the well. Add 2 tablespoons of lukewarm milk and mix until dissolved.
Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes until foamy.
Gradually add the remaining 250ml lukewarm milk, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Press the dough to create a slightly raised edge.
In a large skillet, melt 50g butter over medium heat. Add 150g diced ham and cook until lightly browned.
Add 500g thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized (about 20-25 minutes).
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, salt, pepper, 200g sour cream, 1 tsp caraway seeds (or cumin), and 1/2 tsp nutmeg.
Pour the egg mixture over the cooked onions and ham, stirring to combine.
Spread the onion and ham mixture evenly over the prepared dough.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
