I extended Ronnie's answer with a fluent implementation so you can use it like so:

public static class EF
{
    public static DbContext SetCommandTimeout(this DbContext db, TimeSpan? timeout)
    {
        ((IObjectContextAdapter)db).ObjectContext.CommandTimeout = timeout.HasValue ? (int?) timeout.Value.TotalSeconds : null;

        return db;
    }

    public static DbContext SetCommandTimeout(this DbContext db, int seconds)
    {
        return db.SetCommandTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds));
    } 
}
