Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and open the package. Carefully separate the biscuits and flatten each one into a 5-inch round.
Step 2: Line the Baking Dish
Place the flattened biscuits onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they can fit without overlapping. This will serve as the pizza base.
Step 3: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4: Make the Gravy
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble the Pizza
Spoon the sausage gravy evenly over the flattened biscuits. Ensure coverage, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6: Add Cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sausage gravy, covering it generously for a melted topping.
Step 7: Bake the Pizza
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the biscuit edges are golden brown.
Step 8: Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Cut the pizza into slices and serve warm.
