I'd go with a topping from someone like Ardex or equalivent. They have products that aren't self leveling too and that are designed for 1" type fills.

Another option would be to speak to your local concrete plant and see what mix designs they have for a 1" topping pour. Bonded, it should work fine if the original is dimensionally stable and free of contaminants. I once did a 3/4" concrete topping over visqueen, over slabs on as well as above grade which was used as a temporary pedestrian traffic surface until I could get some special order slate hand sorted in India to do the job to the silly owners satisfaction. Even though it was an unreinforced, floating topping it was still in reasonable shape 9 mos later when we demo'd it and tiled it.
