Key Ingredients for Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

• For the Biscuit Base:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk for a lighter version)
• For the Sausage Gravy:
  • 1 lb Halal breakfast sausage
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Toppings:
  • Shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Chopped green onions or parsley (for garnish)

Make sure all ingredients are halal-compliant!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the biscuit base rises perfectly while baking.
2. Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk gradually, mixing until just combined.
3. Shape the Biscuit Base: On a floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough to about ½-inch thickness. Place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can use your fingers to shape the edges to create a pizza crust look.
4. Prepare the Sausage Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Halal breakfast sausage until browned. Once cooked, sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine. Gradually add the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens (about 3-5 mins) and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
5. Assemble the Pizza: Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuit base evenly. Sprinkle with your choice of shredded cheese.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with green onions or parsley. Enjoy your Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza warm!

Top Tips for Perfecting Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza

• Substitutions: Feel free to swap out the Halal breakfast sausage for turkey sausage or your favorite meat substitute to cater to dietary needs.
• Timing is Key: Keep an eye on the oven. Overbaking can make your biscuits tough, while underbaking can leave them gummy.
• Avoiding Common Mistakes: When making the gravy, whisk continuously to avoid lumps. Also, don’t skip chilling the butter for the biscuit recipe for the best texture!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (though they’re unlikely!), store the individual slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze slices with parchment paper between them for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to indulge again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.

Now you’re all set! Grab your ingredients and treat your family to a delightful start with this Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza that everyone will love! Happy cooking! 🥳
