Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously grease a 10x14 inch Detroit-style pizza pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring corners are well coated.
Press the store-bought pizza dough evenly into the prepared pan, stretching it to the edges. Let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten, then re-stretch if needed to fill the pan.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Scramble the egg mixture in the same skillet over medium-low heat until just set but still moist, about 3-5 minutes. Do not overcook.
Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage over the dough in the pan. Distribute the scrambled eggs over the sausage. Top with an even layer of shredded mozzarella and then the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring cheese goes to the edges of the pan for that signature crispy crust.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and caramelized at the edges. The internal temperature of the crust should be around 200°F (93°C).
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm.
