Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package crescent dough (usually 8–10 oz) Provides a flaky crust; can substitute with pizza dough for a sturdier base.
  • 1 packet country gravy mix (plus milk as directed) Store-bought keeps it fast; can swap for homemade sausage gravy.
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled Italian or sage-flavored breakfast sausage both work. For leaner options, use turkey sausage.
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Mozzarella melts well; mix in a little cheddar for sharper flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to the temperature listed on your crescent dough package.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined pizza pan. Press seams together and spread the dough to form an even crust with a slightly raised edge.
  3. Prepare the country gravy according to the package directions, whisking to remove lumps. Let it sit a minute to thicken.
Cooking
  1. Spread the prepared gravy evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess grease on a paper towel.
  3. Scatter the cooked sausage over the gravy layer in an even layer.
  4. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sausage.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for the time recommended on the crescent dough package, usually 12–18 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from oven, let rest 3–5 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
