  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  THE SAUSAGE GRAVY
• 
  Step 3
  Gather your ingredients.
• 
  Step 4
  Add the sausage to a skillet over medium heat.
• 
  Step 5
  Cook, breaking the sausage apart with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• 
  Step 6
  Reduce the heat to medium low, and then add the flour.
• 
  Step 7
  Stir, using the wooden spoon, until the flour is completely incorporated into the sausage, about 2 minutes.
• 
  Step 8
  Pour 1.5 cups of the milk into the pan.
• 
  Step 9
  Stir until the mixture begins to thicken.
• 
  Step 10
  Chef’s Note: If the mixture is too thick use the remaining milk, a bit at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
• 
  Step 11
  Season with a generous amount of pepper, and a bit of salt, to taste.
• 
  Step 12
  Keep warm, and reserve.

• 
  Step 16
  Add the yeast and allow it to proof for 5 minutes.
• 
  Step 17
  Chef’s Note: After 5 minutes the top of the water should be nice and foamy. If it isn’t then your yeast is dead. Give it a proper burial, and buy more yeast.
•

  Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a food processor fitted with an S-blade.
