Ingredients:

For the Pizza Dough:

  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Toppings:

  • 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pizza Dough:
    • In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
    • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.
    • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cook the Sausage:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned. Remove excess fat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Eggs:
    • In the same skillet, crack the eggs over medium heat. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Pizzas:
    • Divide the pizza dough into individual portions and roll them out into rounds.
    • Place the dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread a thin layer of mozzarella cheese, followed by the cooked sausage, and crack an egg onto each pizza. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chives if desired, and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your Sausage and Egg Breakfast Pizzas!
