Can I make this pizza ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare the gravy and cook the sausage the night before, then assemble and bake the morning of. Do not scramble eggs in advance; cook them fresh just before topping.
What temperature should the sausage gravy be when spreading on dough?
Spread the gravy while warm but not piping hot (around 120–130°F) to avoid cooking the bottom crust too quickly before the eggs and cheese are added.
How do I keep the crust from getting soggy?
Pre-bake the dough for 5–8 minutes until lightly set before adding the gravy. This creates a barrier and helps the crust stay crispy.
Can I use store-bought biscuit dough instead of pizza dough?
Biscuit dough will work but will create a thicker, softer crust. Press it out to pizza thickness or use 2–3 cans to cover a sheet pan fully.
How do I know when the eggs are done cooking on the pizza?
Bake until the eggs are set but still slightly creamy in the center (about 12–15 minutes at 375°F). They will continue to cook slightly after removal from the oven.
