1 lb Ground Breakfast Sausage Substitute with turkey or plant-based sausage if desired.
4 number Eggs Whip well before scrambling.
2 tbsp Milk Any milk alternative works well.
1 tsp Black Pepper Adjust to your spice preference.
1 cup Diced Red Bell Pepper Other veggies like spinach or mushrooms can be used.
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Using pepper jack or feta is a tasty twist.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto the parchment paper, pressing it into a rectangle.
Distribute the cooked ground breakfast sausage along the center of the dough.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, black pepper, and diced red bell pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until fluffy.
Spoon the scrambled eggs over the sausage layer and sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top. Cut the edges into strips for braiding.
Fold the dough strips over the filling alternately to create a braid.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with melted butter before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
