Ingredients

For the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza, you’ll need:

• Pizza Dough: Use store-bought for convenience, or make your own if you’re feeling ambitious!
• Breakfast Sausage: Ground breakfast sausage is key for that savory, meaty flavor. You can use regular or spicy sausage, depending on your preference.
• Flour: To thicken the sausage gravy and make it rich and creamy.
• Milk: This will create the creamy base for your gravy. Whole milk works best for a smooth texture, but you can use what you have on hand.
• Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds a deliciously melty, slightly tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sausage gravy.
• Biscuits: Use canned biscuit dough or make your own from scratch if you have the time. The biscuits will be broken up and placed on top of the pizza for that iconic biscuit-and-gravy flavor.
• Eggs: Scrambled eggs (optional, but recommended for extra richness and breakfast vibes).
• Butter: For a little extra richness in the gravy.
• Salt and Pepper: To season the sausage gravy and make everything pop with flavor.
• Red Pepper Flakes (optional): If you like a little heat in your breakfast, toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking and bring this breakfast pizza to life!

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). You want the oven nice and hot to cook both the pizza dough and the biscuits to perfection.

2. Prepare the Pizza Dough:

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large circle or rectangle to fit your baking sheet or pizza stone. Transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone and bake it for 5-7 minutes, just to give it a head start and ensure it gets nice and crispy.

3. Make the Sausage Gravy:

While the dough is baking, cook the breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once the sausage is browned, add butter to the pan, followed by flour. Stir the mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually add in milk, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper (and red pepper flakes if you like a little heat). Let the gravy simmer while you prep the other ingredients.

4. Add the Scrambled Eggs (Optional):

In a separate pan, scramble a few eggs until they’re soft and just cooked through. These will be spread across the pizza, so make sure not to overcook them. Set them aside.

5. Assemble the Pizza:

Once the pizza dough has had a quick bake, remove it from the oven. Spread a generous layer of the sausage gravy over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Break up the biscuits and place them around the pizza, gently pressing them into the gravy. Add the scrambled eggs (if using) on top of the biscuits.

6. Add the Cheese:

Sprinkle a generous amount of cheddar cheese over the entire pizza. You want that cheese to melt into the sausage gravy and biscuits for the ultimate gooey, cheesy goodness.

7. Bake the Pizza:

Place the pizza back into the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the biscuits are golden brown. If you like a crispier crust, bake for a little longer.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it up, and enjoy this decadent, breakfast-inspired pizza! Serve with extra sausage gravy on the side for dipping, or top with a little fresh parsley if you want to add a pop of color.
