Method

  1. Place oven rack 6 to 8 inches from broiler and preheat oven to 550°F (or highest possible setting) for 1 hour.

  2. In a large bowl, combine fromage blanc and crème fraîche, whisk until well mixed. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  3. Take one piece of dough and place it on a lightly floured work surface. Use your hands and/or a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a thin, approximately 10- by 5- inch oval shape. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel.

  4. Turn the broiler on high. Spread one quarter of the fromage blanc mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 centimeter border around the edges. Sprinkle a small handful of onions and bacon over the top.

  5. Carefully slide the pizza onto a baking stone and bake until the toppings are browned and the crust is golden brown and puffed, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

  6. Serve immediately and repeat the process with the remaining dough and toppings.
