How to make sausage gravy breakfast pizza

Featured Ingredients

Pizza Crust:

• Greek yogurt: It may sound odd, but plain Greek yogurt makes the perfect pizza dough.
• Self-rising flour: It's flour that has the leavening agent (baking powder or soda) already added to it.
• Olive oil: Once the dough is rolled out, a drizzle and brush of olive oil on the crust helps it become lightly browned when baked.

Gravy:

• Butter and flour: To make a roux to thicken the gravy.
• Sausage: Ground breakfast sausage - either turkey or pork - is perfect.
• Garlic: For flavor, obviously!
• Milk: It works with skim, low-fat or whole.

Toppings:

• Scrambled eggs: A few perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs make the perfect breakfast pizza topping.
• Spinach: A few handfuls of fresh baby spinach bring life to this pizza.
• Cheeses: I like a combo of sharp cheddar and mozzarella.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the pizza stone in the oven.
2. Place the Greek yogurt, self-rising flour and pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
3. Run the mixer on low for 5-6 minutes, scraping the sides as necessary with a spatula, until a smooth ball of dough has formed.
4. Transfer the dough to a cutting board dusted with flour.
5. Work dough with your hands and press out and pull into a thin circle.
6. Remove the pizza stone from the oven and transfer dough to the pizza stone and drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
7. In a medium non-stick saucepan, heat butter on medium-high until melted.
8. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
9. Whisk in the garlic, then whisk in the flour and allow to cook, whisking regularly, for 60-90 seconds.
10. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Allow to cook 3-4 minutes, continuing to whisk, until thickened.
11. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the sauce on pizza dough.
12. Top the pizza with scrambled eggs, greens and cheeses.
13. Cook pizza for 10-15 minutes, until crust and cheese are lightly browned.
14. Let cool, then slice and serve.
