Top Tips for Perfecting Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza
- Seal the Crescent Roll Crust Well: This helps prevent leaks and keeps your toppings intact.
- Pre-Cook the Crust: Baking it before adding toppings prevents sogginess.
- Use Pre-Cooked Sausage: It saves time and ensures an even texture.
- Shred Cheese Fresh: For the best melt and flavor.
Storing and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F for 5–8 minutes, or microwave on medium heat for 1–2 minutes. This pizza also freezes well—wrap individual slices in foil and reheat straight from frozen.
FAQs
Can I use homemade gravy? Absolutely! If you have a favorite sausage gravy recipe, use that instead of a mix.
Can I prep it the night before? You can bake the crust and prepare the toppings in advance. Assemble and bake the final 10 minutes just before serving.
What if I don’t have a round pizza pan? Use a rectangular baking sheet and press the dough to fit—it still works beautifully!
