Breakfast Pizza

This is one of my favorite breakfast to make ever but it is time consuming for sure. However, if you are smart, unlike me, you can make and cook the pizza crust the day before and have it ready for the next morning, then all you have to do is make your eggs, bulldog gravy (this is what my granny calls it), bacon and sausage. But it is what it is.. Making the dough fresh is one of my favorite things to smell and do. It is super easy when you have a good quality bread machine ( Amazon store front ). Bulldog gravy is something my granny made all the time for us, it was a treat of course due to it mainly being bacon grease, flour and milk. 😂 Start with cooking your bacon, use that for the gravy.  Bulldog Gravy: 1/4-1/2 Cup Bacon Grease 1/4 Cup Flour Milk (I just pour until its not thick then thicken it) Salt & Pepper, to taste -Place grease in sauce pot, warm up. Add flour and cook off for 1-2 mins be sure to whisk often. Now, pour milk, I usually just add enough milk to thin out the

French Bread

Making bread does not have to be difficult, in fact it can be fun, and very fulfilling. It literally makes me feel so amazing when I see my family and friends enjoying breads I have made. Satisfaction for sure. Give this a try, it is very simple to make, only requires a couple of techniques. Nothing too crazy or difficult at all. Using pure ingredients makes the best, fluffiest, most moist bread ever.



You Will Need:

6 Cups Organic All-Purpose Flour
2 1/2 tsp. Bob's Red Mill Yeast
2 tsp. Pink Himalayan Salt
2 Cups Warm Water
1/3 Cup Melted Organic Butter
1/4 Cup Organic Honey



Mix your honey, water, melted butter and yeast into a bowl and allow to bloom 5 minutes


Add 3 cups of flour, mix and allow to rise for 30 minutes 


It will become bubbly and smell so good like yeast


Mix in the rest of the flour, and knead for a couple minutes


Grease a bowl, and place dough in the bowl, cover and allow to rise until double in size or 1 hour


Perfect... punch down and knead


Cut in 4 even pieces, and roll out into a snake like shape, leaving pretty thick; I should have cut the other one, because is was huge


Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until golden brown and hollow.. sounding on top (I forgot to picture the finished one.. sorry)
