Description
Slow mornings deserve something special, and this Homemade Breakfast Pizza is exactly that. It takes everything we love about a hearty breakfast—savory sausage gravy, melty cheese, and a soft, golden crust—and turns it into a warm, shareable dish that’s perfect for weekends, brunch, or even breakfast-for-dinner nights. Best of all, it’s easy, cozy, and made with simple ingredients you can find anywhere.
Ingredients
-
1 tube refrigerated pizza crust
-
1 packet country gravy mix (peppery style recommended)
-
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage crumbles
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional add-ins
-
Cooked bacon crumbles
-
Scrambled eggs
-
Shredded cheddar cheese
-
Black pepper or red pepper flakes
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza pan. -
Par-Bake the Crust
Unroll the pizza dough and press it onto the pan. Bake for 5–7 minutes until just set but not browned. This helps prevent sogginess. -
Prepare the Gravy
While the crust bakes, prepare the gravy according to the package directions. Let it simmer until thick and creamy. -
Assemble the Pizza
Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the warm gravy evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. -
Add Toppings
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the gravy, then scatter the sausage crumbles on top. -
Bake
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. -
Rest and Slice
Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
Thick gravy is key: Thin gravy can make the crust soggy.
-
Par-baking matters: Don’t skip this step—it keeps the base sturdy.
-
Customize freely: Add eggs, veggies, or different cheeses to suit your taste.
-
Let it rest before slicing for cleaner cuts and better texture.
