2, Meanwhile, place chilled dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll out to form a 35 x 25cm rectangle. Slide dough, still on bottom sheet of baking paper, onto an oven tray. Chill for 10 minutes to firm.  

3. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Remove pastry from fridge and place seared bacon on top, leaving a 4cm border. Top with dollops of crème fraîche and scatter over gruyere and thyme leaves. Using baking paper as an aid, fold pastry edges over topping.

4. Bake for 20 minutes or until pastry is cooked and golden.
