Instructions
For the Breakfast Sausage
- First thing we need to do is make the sausage. Very easy, just mix together all the Breakfast Sausage ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the rest, best to make this and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to blend.
- Fry the sausage in a non stick pan, breaking it apart with your spatula until browned and cooked through. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan. Drain sausage on paper towels and set aside.
For the Pizza Dough
- Preheat your oven to 220° C (425° F).
- Next, we need to make the pizza dough. This is my thin crust pizza dough, the pre-baking has never failed me for a crust fully cooked through.
- Add the flour into a mixing bowl. Add the salt and dried Italian seasoning/herbs of your choice (if using) and yeast, whisk to combine.
- Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the water. Use your fingers or a wooden spoon to combine everything together. When it comes together into a cohesive ball, turn it out onto the counter along with any extra flour in the bowl that hasn’t yet gotten worked in.
- Knead the dough until all the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth/elastic to the touch, about five minutes. The dough should still feel moist and just slightly tacky. If it’s sticking to your hands and counter top like bubble gum, work in more flour one tablespoon at a time until it’s smooth and silky.
- I use a 12 inch pizza pan, sprinkle some corn meal around on the pan, the place the ball of dough in the center. Use the heels of your hands and working from the middle gently press the dough outward until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick or less, while rotating the pan.
- Bake the crust for 4 minutes, then rotate the pan 180 degrees and bake for 3 more minutes. Remove pan and set aside.
Let's Make This
- Sausage is made, crust is made, let's make the eggs then the gravy and get this pizza baked.
- For the gravy, using the Gravy ingredients, Add butter to hot pan and melt together with sausage fat. Whisk together the evaporated (canned) milk and water with the flour. Add to hot fat in skillet. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until gravy starts to thicken. Add sausage back into gravy; heat until sausage is hot and gravy is thick. You want a thick gravy for this dish, after all, you are making a pizza. Set pan aside.
- Now prepare the eggs, crack all the eggs into another non stick pan, season with salt and pepper as desired. Cook and fold to scramble until just set, remove from heat.
- Take your pre-baked pizza crust and spread out the gravy evenly. Top with the scrambled eggs, then sprinkle on the shredded cheese, top that with the spring onion.
- Place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top is nicely melted and just starting to brown up.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
Figure about 50 Baht for the pork, another 100 Baht for the cheese. Figuring 4 servings, this is about $1.10 per serving. I will verify this when I make it.
