Add the flour, the olive oil, and the water to a food processor. Process until you have got a crumbly dough.
Take the dough out of the food processor and use your hands to quickly knead the dough. Form a ball. Wrap it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Cut the smoked tofu into small cubes.
In a pan, heat some olive oil and pan-fry the tofu cubes on high heat for about 5 minutes until crispy and browned. Then add the soy sauce and cook for another 2 minutes on high heat. Stir often. Set aside.
Place the vegan crème fraîche (or sour cream or cream cheese) and the vegan cream in a small bowl and stir well. Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Preheat the oven to 480 °F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a large rectangle.
Use a spoon to evenly spread the vegan crème fraîche on top.
Cut the red onions into thin slices. Place the red onion slices and the smoked tofu cubes on top. Bake for 15 minutes at 480 °F until crispy.

In central Europe, it's pretty easy to find soy-based vegan crème fraîche these days. But I know that it's much harder in the U.S. and Canada. But you can easily replace it with vegan sour cream or vegan cream cheese.
Or you could use a homemade version of vegan cream cheese with cashews.
If you can't find smoked tofu, you could also use firm tofu and marinate it in soy sauce and a dash of liquid smoke overnight. Then pan-fry it until crispy and browned.
