Homemade Pizza Bagels

Are you tired of the same ordinary pizza pie? If you haven’t tried them before bagels are an excellent way to deliver sauce, cheese, and toppings to your mouth. When I make my pizza bagels I use bagels that I made myself (click here for the recipe for homemade bagels). Once you have your bagels ready, slice them in half (so each bagel makes two pizza bagels!). Then you will need the following

Grated Mozzarella cheese (fresh is best)
Tomato sauce
Toppings of your choice (I go for pepperoni)
Your sliced bagels

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place the above ingredients on your bagels in any order you want in and how much you want. It’s customization great! You can’t get that with frozen pizza bagels. Place your bagels onto a sheet pan lined with either parchment or a Slipat. Bake for about 7-10 minutes. All you are looking to do is heat the bagel, sauce, and toppings as well as melt the cheese. Let your pizza bagels cool for a couple minutes before eating.

You can also freeze them for later use. Just place them into a good plastic ziptop bag and into the freezer. When you wish to eat them, just warm them back up again in the oven. They are great to have on hand when you need a quick lunch, dinner, or snack.
