Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pizza once assembled.
Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, carefully drain off any excess grease to reduce fat content in the gravy.
Make the sausage gravy: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Season the gravy with black pepper and salt, mixing thoroughly.
Assemble the pizza: Lay the pre-made 10-inch pizza crust flat on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Arrange the biscuits on top of the crust according to your preference (if using the biscuits separately), or if using just the crust, pour the prepared sausage gravy evenly over it. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top for added flavor and a nice melted cheese finish.
Bake the pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for a fresh burst of flavor. Slice and serve warm for a hearty breakfast delight.

Notes

You can use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits for a fresher taste.
If you prefer a spicier gravy, add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
For a lower-fat version, use lean sausage and low-fat milk.
Ensure to drain excess grease from the sausage to avoid a greasy gravy and pizza.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
