Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Base
- Refrigerated biscuits (store-bought, enough to form a solid crust layer)
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for gluten-free version)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (room temperature)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste (lots for seasoning)
Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese blend (cheddar and mozzarella mix)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the sausage gravy: Brown the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once fully cooked and browned, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to create a roux base. Slowly whisk in the room temperature milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency. Season with salt and lots of black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
- Arrange the biscuit base: Open the refrigerated biscuits and press them together firmly on a baking sheet or pizza stone to create a solid crust layer. The biscuits will rise and bake into a soft, flaky pizza base that holds all your toppings.
- Assemble the pizza: Pour the warm sausage gravy evenly over the biscuit crust, spreading it gently. Then sprinkle the shredded cheese blend generously over the gravy, ensuring a gooey, melty topping.
- Bake to perfection: Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top.
- Garnish and serve: Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before sprinkling freshly chopped parsley or chives on top. Slice and enjoy warm for the best comforting flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature milk to help the gravy thicken smoothly without lumps.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when browning sausage; cook in batches if needed for a crisp texture.
- Press biscuits firmly together to prevent gaps during baking.
- Experiment with mixing different cheeses for added depth and creaminess.
- Watch baking time carefully; ovens vary, so check for golden biscuit edges and bubbling cheese.
