Why I Love These Homemade Pizza Bagels

- Crowd favorite: Pizza Bagel Bites are popular with kids and adults and this pizza bagel recipe will disappear as fast you make them!
Substitutions and Variations
- Other toppings: My family loves pepperoni pizza bagels but you can get as creative as you want! Italian sausage, black olives, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms or even pineapple and Canadian bacon.
- Sauce: Use a simple marinara sauce or mix it up with garlic white pizza sauce!
- Bagels: Plain bagels are my go-to for the pizza ‘crust’ but you could use homemade bagels, mini bagels or gluten-free bagels if needed.
- Pepperoni: I find that mini pepperoni slices are just the right size for pizza bagels, but regular pepperoni works just as well.
- Garnish: Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, fresh basil or a dash of oregano add the perfect finish to this recipe for pizza bagel!
How to Make Pizza Bagels

Bake bagel halves for about 10 minutes at 375°F, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then serve the bagel pizza while warm.
