Preheat oven to 450F.

Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp.

Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Add onion to the pan; cook, stirring until starting to soften, about 2 minutes.

Chop the bacon and add to the mixture in the pan.

Whisk milk, eggs, pepper and remaining 14 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup.

Toss cheese and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour together in a small bowl then add to the egg mixture.

Roll the pastry dough into a 12-inch circle on a clean, lightly floured surface.

Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan.

Trim or crimp the dough edges as desired.

Line the dough with a double thickness of foil and bake for 8 minutes.

Remove the foil and continue baking until set and dry, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Reduce oven temperature to 325.

Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
