Ingredients You Need for Easy Homemade Pizza Bagels

• 4 bagels (cut in half)
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
• 1/4 cup sliced olives
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleaning easier after baking.

2. Prepare the Bagels

Slice the bagels into halves if not already cut. Place them on the tray with the cut side up. This helps hold the toppings properly.

3. Add Pizza Sauce

Spread pizza sauce on each bagel half. Use a spoon to spread evenly. Make sure to cover the surface but do not overload it.

4. Add Cheese

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. Make sure each bagel gets enough cheese for a gooey texture.

5. Add Toppings

Place pepperoni slices, bell peppers and olives on top. Spread them evenly so each bite has balanced flavor and texture.

6. Season the Bagels

Sprinkle oregano and chili flakes over the toppings. This adds extra flavor and gives a classic pizza taste.

7. Bake the Bagels

Place the tray in the oven. Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and becomes bubbly. The edges should be slightly crispy.

8. Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes. This helps cheese set slightly. Serve warm and enjoy your snack.

Recipe Tips

• Use fresh bagels for best texture.
• Do not add too much sauce.
• Try different cheeses like cheddar or parmesan.
• Add cooked chicken or mushrooms for variety.
• Bake until cheese is bubbly, not burnt.
• Use whole wheat bagels for a healthier option.
