Pizza Base
- 1 13.8 oz can refrigerated classic pizza crust
Toppings
- 1 2.75 oz packet white country gravy mix
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cooked crumbled pork sausage
- Prepare the baking sheet: Spray an 11×15 inch rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the pizza crust doesn’t stick during baking.
- Shape the pizza crust: Open and unroll the refrigerated pizza dough and place it in the middle of the pan. Spread and press it evenly out to the edges and up the sides about 1/4 inch thick, forming the base.
- Partially bake the crust: Bake the crust in a preheated 400°F oven for six minutes to slightly cook it before adding toppings.
- Prepare and spread the gravy: While the crust bakes, prepare the white country gravy mix according to package instructions. Once ready, spread the gravy evenly over the partially baked crust, covering it to the edges.
- Add cheese and sausage: Evenly sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the gravy layer, then top with 1 cup of cooked crumbled pork sausage.
- Bake the assembled pizza: Return the pizza to the oven at 400°F and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is fully cooked and edges are golden brown.
- Rest and serve: Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven and let the pizza rest for 5 minutes. Slice the pizza, serve warm, and enjoy your breakfast treat.
Notes
- Make sure to cook and crumble the pork sausage fully before adding it to the pizza.
- You can substitute mozzarella with a cheese blend for different flavor variations.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the gravy or sprinkle some on top.
- If you want a crispier crust, you can bake the crust a minute or two longer during the initial bake.
