Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel.
We nearly finished our scholarly paper and will submit it middle of this week.
I have to survive a two day long meeting and then my well-deserved vacation will start.
The last days I spent more 12 hours or more in the Lab to get the last missing data for the Paper. I shocked our cleaning lady regularly when I entered the building at 6.50 am. She does not expect somebody saying “Good Morning” to her at this time of the day.
Because I spent so much time in lab there was nearly no time for cooking or baking. But I still get delicious dinners because the boyfriend take care of cooking. One evening, when I was still in the train station on my way home, I told him what he would need for an onion tart and he prepared the dough. When I came home the dough had risen finely and we prepared the filling together.
Onion tart
Dough:
- 250g flour (Typ 550)
- 160g Water
- 5g fresh yeast
- 5g Salt
- 15g olive oil
Filling:
- 400g red onions
- 100g cream
- 1 Egg
- 50g grated cheese
- 1/2 Tsp. Caraway seeds, crushed with a mortar
- allspice
- Salt
Knead all ingredients for the dough 5 min at slow and 5 min at fast speed.
Let the dough rise for 1 hour (or over night in the fridge)
Peel onions and slice finely. Cook them in a pan at middle temperature untill golden. Take from heat and let cool down a little bit then mix with cream and eg. Season with crushed caraway seeds, allspice and salt.
Roll the dough thinly and line a Quiche form (Diameter 24 cm) with the dough. Fill in the filling and top with grated cheese.
Bake at 180°C for about 35 min.
Because this tart is baked with yeast, I send it to Susans weekly Yeastspotting.

This recipe sounds really good. I haven’t tried making a Zwiebelkuchen myself because my boss makes such really good ones. I think I will give your recipe a try.
I hope you won’t mind if I tell you this, but piment is allspice in English.
