This is an onion pie from south-central Germany. It is served in the fall when the local winemakers open a cafe-like area called a Besenwirtschaft in their barn or garage to serve the new wine for a small fee. To let people know when they are open, they hang a straw broom over the doorway.

How to Make DEUTSCH ZWIEBELKUCHEN (ONION PIE)

Step-by-Step

Place the prepared dough in a large pizza pan, making sure dough extends up the sides of the pan.
In a large skillet, saute the onion until translucent and pour the cooked onion into a large mixing bowl. (May have to saute in several shifts.)
Place the bacon in the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, chop and add to onion; mix well.
Stir in the sour cream. In a separate bowl, beat eggs to break up yolks; mix into pie mixture. Add flour to thicken; add salt.
Mix well and pour mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with caraway seeds.
Bake in a preheated 425-degree oven for about 1 hour, or until onions start to turn golden brown on top.
