Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 package pre-made biscuit dough (about 8–10 biscuits)
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- Optional: sliced green onions, hot sauce for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuit base: Preheat your oven according to the biscuit dough package instructions. Roll out the biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface into a round pizza shape. Transfer to a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza pan and partially bake for about 8 minutes until the crust is lightly firm and can hold toppings.
- Cook the sausage: While the biscuit base bakes, crumble and brown the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until no pink remains and the meat is slightly crispy, then drain excess grease leaving about one tablespoon for the gravy.
- Make the sausage gravy: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until thickened into creamy gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the pizza: Remove the biscuit crust from the oven and evenly pour the warm sausage gravy over it. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top for gooey richness. Return the pizza to the oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve and enjoy: Add optional garnishes like chopped green onions or a drizzle of hot sauce before slicing. Serve immediately while warm and comforting.
Notes
- Use cold biscuit dough for a flaky texture when baking.
- Drain excess sausage grease to avoid greasy gravy and balance flavors.
- Whisk gravy constantly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Partially pre-bake the biscuit crust to prevent sogginess under the gravy.
- Customize cheese blends by mixing mozzarella with sharp cheddar for richer flavor.
