Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Partially bake the crust: Bake the crust in a preheated 400°F oven for six minutes to slightly cook it before adding toppings.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
