  7. Pat dough into a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan or onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
  8. Press up edges to create a slight rim.
  9. Fry bacon slices until crisp.
  10. Remove bacon from grease and drain on absorbent paper.
  11. Add sliced onions to the bacon grease and cook slowly until tender but not brown.
  12. Sprinkle onion mixture, crumbled bacon, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper over the dough base.
