1 Package Yeast -- Active Dry
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
3 Cups Unbleached Flour
1 Tablespoon Shortening
1 Cup Water -- 120 to 130

1 Each Egg Yolk
1 Cup Sour
Cream
Mix yeast, sugar, 1 t salt, and
1/2 cup flour. Blend in shortening and warm water. Beat for 2
minutes. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead dough until
smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a lightly
greased bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place 1/2
hour. Pat dough into a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan or onto
a lightly greased baking sheet. Press up edges to make a slight rim.
Fry bacon until crisp. Remove from grease and drain on absorbent
paper. Add onions to bacon grease; cook slowly until tender but not
brown. Sprinkle onion, bacon, cumin, 1/2 t salt and pepper over
dough. Bake at 400 Degrees F. for 20 minutes. Blend egg yolk and
sour cream. Pour over onions. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes longer or
until golden brown and sour cream is set. Serve warm or at room
temperature.
