Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough
  • 1 lb pizza dough homemade or store-bought
Sausage Gravy
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage mild or spicy
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk warmed
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 tsp salt adjust to taste
Toppings
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs optional, for topping
  • chopped chives or green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Whisk
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet or Pizza Stone
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Remove and set aside, leaving 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.
  3. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the warm milk until smooth. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened into a gravy. Stir in cooked sausage, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a baking sheet or preheated stone.
  6. Spread the sausage gravy evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  7. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese. If desired, crack eggs on top of the pizza for a breakfast-style twist.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. If using eggs, bake until whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a southern twist, use homemade buttermilk biscuit dough as the crust base. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
