Description
A delicious and hearty breakfast pizza featuring a flaky biscuit crust topped with savory sausage gravy and melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2 cups milk (for gravy)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 3/4 cup of milk until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll it out to fit a 12-inch pizza pan. Place the dough on the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- In the same skillet, add 1/4 cup of flour to the drippings and whisk for about 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, and stir to combine.
- Once the crust is done baking, spread the cooked sausage evenly over the crust. Pour the sausage gravy over the sausage, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking.
- Substitute the cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a creamier texture and extra flavor.
