Step-by-Step Instructions for sausage breakfast pizza
  1. Begin making the pizza dough at least 8 hours in advance to ensure proper fermentation. Combine your ingredients, knead until smooth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Once ready, refrigerate until you’re set to assemble your sausage breakfast pizza, allowing the dough to relax for easier rolling.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add your crumbled Italian sausage. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until it's browned and crispy. Make sure to break up any large pieces for even cooking. Once perfectly golden, transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease while you move on to the next step.
  3. In the same skillet, toss in sliced onions and cook over medium-low heat for roughly 20 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning, and aim for a light golden color and sweet aroma.
  4. Preheat your oven to a sizzling 500°F (260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up, or prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  5. Once the oven is ready, roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to your heated pizza stone or prepared baking sheet. Next, layer the cooked sausage and caramelized onions evenly across the dough, creating small wells where you will crack the eggs.
  6. Crack an egg into each well you created on your pizza, being careful not to spill onto the other toppings.
  7. Carefully place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and remove it from the oven when the crust is golden and the egg whites are set.
  8. Once baked to perfection, allow the sausage breakfast pizza to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick, then slice into pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
