How to Make Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza

Preheat your oven to 375°F. This step is crucial to ensure your crescent roll crust bakes to a golden perfection, creating a lovely base for your savory toppings.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a greased baking sheet. Press the seams together to form a rectangle. Bake for 8 minutes, or just until it’s lightly golden to achieve that perfect flaky texture.
Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Make sure it’s fully cooked while keeping the flavorful fat in the pan, which adds depth to your gravy.
Sprinkle the flour over the browned sausage and stir to coat. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to create a rich, creamy mixture without lumps.
Cook the gravy until it thickens—this usually takes around 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to elevate the savory flavors.
Spread the savory sausage gravy generously over the baked crescent roll crust. Make sure to cover it evenly for a delicious, hearty bite.
Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top. This will melt beautifully in the oven, creating a cheesy layer that everyone will love.
Return to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. Keep an eye out for that bubbling, gooey goodness, which means it’s ready to come out.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch. Slice it up and serve warm to enjoy every delicious bite!

Optional: Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick!

Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza Recipe FAQs

How do I choose ripe ingredients for my Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza?
Absolutely! When selecting your ground breakfast sausage, look for options that are fresh and have a nice balance of meat and fat for optimal flavor. If you’re using fresh parsley, bright green leaves without wilting or dark spots are best. For cheese, opt for shredded over block for better melting.

What is the best way to store leftovers from my Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza?
Very! Allow the pizza to cool completely and then place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. When you’re ready for another slice, simply reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to bring back that lovely crispy crust.

Can I freeze the Sausage Gravy Crescent Roll Breakfast Pizza?
Yes, you can freeze it for up to 2 months! Ensure that it’s cooled, then tightly wrap individual slices in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, thaw the slices overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven for the best taste and texture.

What should I do if my gravy seems too thin while making the Sausage Gravy?
No worries! If you find your gravy isn’t thickening as desired, continue to simmer it over medium heat while stirring frequently until it reaches your preferred consistency. This usually takes about 5 more minutes. Adding an extra tablespoon of flour directly can also help, but be sure to mix it well to avoid lumps.

Are there any dietary considerations I should be aware of for this recipe?
Great question! This recipe contains common allergens like wheat (in crescent roll dough), dairy (milk and cheese), and pork (sausage). If you need alternatives, consider using gluten-free crescent dough, a dairy substitute like almond milk, or opting for a turkey or plant-based sausage if you’re looking for leaner or vegetarian options.
