Mix yeast, sugar, 1 t salt, and 1/2 cup flour. Blend in shortening

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.
