Here is a great family meal for those Sunday breakfasts. It is a combination of pizza dough, sausages, egg, cheese, and a tasty dip. In other words, all your favorite ingredients are thrown in one place to make you happy! Who does not love to dip fresh hot pizza into a delicious sauce? Well, count me in.

I love pizza rings. You can have them at breakfast or dinner. They look so yummy, and you can prepare them in under half an hour if you have the dough ready. I recommend using a bread maker machine for the dough. It will surely speed up the process.

So, let’s get started with the Sunday breakfast; fry the sausages, melt the cheese, cream the eggs, and wrap all that in pizza dough! Call your friends for palatable brunch. I use a yogurt dip with parsley, basil, and garlic, but you can switch to another if you prefer. Salsa based sauces are also great with this pizza ring.

What will you need?

You probably have all the tools you need in your kitchen to prepare this fun breakfast dish. Just make sure you use a pan pizza and a pizza cutter wheel. You can prepare the dough by hand or by a stand mixer with the dough hook. I use my bread maker machine for that purpose. Add the ingredients, press the dough cycle program, and you are all set.

Why is pizza dough not stretching?

In general, pizza dough cannot stretch if the gluten does not develop appropriately. This issue might occur if you use the wrong type of flour. The yeast-based dough requires strong white flour. Also, if you do not give enough time during the fermentation, it might become too stiff.
