1 pound breakfast sausage
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 3/4 cup milk to the flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently.
Roll the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
In the same skillet with sausage drippings, whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour over medium heat. Cook for about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of milk, stirring until the mixture thickens. Season with black pepper and return the cooked sausage to the gravy.
Spread the sausage gravy over the biscuit crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.

Take it from someone who has learned through trial and error—don’t rush the gravy. Let it thicken slowly and you’ll be rewarded with a velvety sauce that ties the whole dish together.

Tips for Making the Best Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

To ensure your biscuit crust is perfectly flaky, keep your butter as cold as possible. I like to pop it in the freezer for a few minutes before using it. Another tip? Don’t overwork the dough. A light hand makes for a tender crust. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a touch of garlic powder to the biscuit dough for an extra layer of flavor.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

While this breakfast pizza stands beautifully on its own, pairing it with a fresh fruit salad can add a refreshing contrast. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a steaming cup of coffee rounds out the meal, making it a perfect way to start the day. If you have guests over, consider serving it alongside a frittata or a simple green salad for a more robust brunch spread.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Leftovers, if there are any, can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid the microwave if you can, as it tends to make the crust soggy. But if time is of the essence, a quick zap on low power can suffice.
