    ingredients for pizza bagels

    HOW TO MAKE PIZZA BAGELS

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. To make a pizza bagel, start out by cutting a bagel in half. My daughter used a butter knife just to be safe.

    Spoon on some tomato sauce. How much sauce will depend on how saucy you like your pizza. We like to cover ours with a thick layer of sauce.

    Once your bagel is sufficiently sauced, it is time to sprinkle on some shredded mozzarella cheese.

    Next, add on the pepperoni. I find that 3 slices per bagel half work well. If your kids find pepperoni too spicy, feel free to leave it off. You can also get creative here. Maybe your kids like peppers or onions or olives. Whatever toppings they like on pizza, you can add to a pizza bagel.

    Now they are ready to be baked. Pizza bagels are so easy to make because you don't need to heat up your entire oven. These are simple to make in a toaster oven.

    In a 375 degree toaster over, bake the pizza bagels for 10 minutes, or until the cheese gets gooey and the pepperoni starts to get crisp.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can kids make these pizza bagels?

    Absolutely! With proper adult supervision, kids can easily make these 4 ingredient pizza bagels. How much they can do depends on their age. A younger child can certainly spoon on the sauce and sprinkle on the cheese, while an older child can make the whole thing from start to finish.

    How do I store leftover pizza bagels?

    You can store them in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 3 days. When you want to warm them up simply pop them in the microwave for 45 seconds.

    What other toppings can I use on this pizza bagel recipe?

    We used pepperoni, but chopped veggies like onions and peppers are also yummy. Olives and sausage work great as well.

    An easy way to cook with your kids
