Pizza Dough
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose or bread flour
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast 1 packet
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Sauce
- 1 cup sausage gravy or substitute with marinara, cream cheese spread, or hollandaise sauce
Toppings
- 4-5 large eggs scrambled, baked, or sunny-side up
- 1 1/2-2 cups shredded cheese mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend
- 4-5 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup breakfast sausage cooked

Optional Vegetables
- 1 cup spinach or kale lightly sautéed
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/2 cup bell peppers diced
- 1/4 cup onion thinly sliced

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add flour, olive oil, and salt, then knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the dough and transfer it to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Spread the sausage gravy (or your preferred sauce) evenly over the dough.
- Top with cheese, bacon, sausage, hash browns, eggs, and any desired vegetables.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted. If using whole eggs, ensure they are cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Remove from the oven, top with fresh avocado slices if desired, slice, and serve warm.
