GERMAN ZWIEBELKUCHEN (ONION PIE)



German Zwiebelkuchen (Onion Pie) image

Zwiebelkuchen is an onion pie from Swabia, in south-central Germany. It is a special time of year, in the fall, when the mom & pop winemakers will open a BasinWirtschaft in their barn or garage. They serve the new wine, fresh zwiebelkuchen, and perhaps some wurst, for a minimal fee. A few tables are set up, and they are open when they have time to serve. To indicate they are serving, they will hang a straw broom over the doorway. The combination of the onions and the 'green' wine can have explosive consequences later on!

Yield 11

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 pounds onions, sliced
4 slices bacon
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
4 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon caraway seed
2 recipes pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a jelly-roll pan or large pizza pan with prepared dough, making sure dough extends up sides of pan.
  • Saute onion in a skillet until translucent and pour cooked onion into a large mixing bowl. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, chop and add to onion; mix well.
  • Stir in sour cream. Beat eggs enough to break up yolks, then mix in to pie mixture. Add flour to thicken mixture (onions will create a lot of water), then add salt. Mix well and pour mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with caraway seed.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until onions start to turn golden brown on top.

  • YEAST DOUGH1. In the bowl of a stand up mixer combine the yeast with the sugar and about half of the milk. Stir and let activate in a warm place. Anywhere from 5 to 20 mins, as necessary.
  • 2. Attach the dough hook to mixer, add flour, salt and the rest of the milk to the activated yeast. Knead on low for a minute, then stop and add the butter. Knead again until a soft dough ball forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot, until doubled in size.
  • 3. On a clean, lightly floured surface roll the dough into a round or rectangular shape sized to fit your baking dish. (Use a 9-10 inches diameter round dish or 9x9 square or about 9x10 rectangular dish).
  • Filling1. In a pan over medium heat cook the diced bacon until it renders most of its fat. Remove to paper towel lined plate and let it cool down. Discard excess rendered fat from the pan, leave a coating or so.

  • Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk and let stand for 5 minutes. Place the flour and salt in a food processor and make a well in the center. Add the butter and pour the milk mixture over. Using a dough hook, knead the dough on the “bread” setting for about 6 minutes. Add more milk or flour as needed. Form the dough into a ball, spray the same bowl with oil oil, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size. (I usually turn the oven on 350 degrees F for about 1 minute just until it’s a warm, turn it off, and let the dough rise in the oven).
  • Fry up the bacon. When the bacon is done add the onions to it along with 2 tablespoons of butter. Reduce the heat and let the onions slowly caramelize to a nice golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
