Reasons to make these Pizza Bagels

Everyone knows the feeling when pizza comes fresh out of the oven and we all cannot wait to enjoy the first bite. Make my Pizza Bagels and you will feel the same. Not only are the flavors all on point like you eat an amazing pepperoni pizza, but also:

You save a lot of time, preparation is just so easy. All you need is to put sauce and toppings on a bagel and bake. It is as easy as it gets and surely so satisfying. The result is more delicious and cheaper than any frozen pizza bagels.

Also great as a TV meal. You can watch and enjoy something delicious. I make them often this way, you have everything and warm ready with so little action.

Ingredients needed to make the easy Pizza bagels are collected on a wooden board.

Here is what you need for this Pizza Bagels recipe

You obviously need bagels. The beauty of this recipe is that you can absolutely use what you have on hand or what your personal favorites are: plain, sesame, spicy, with herbs. This is our pizza base instead of using a dough.

As topping we use plant based pepperoni. Can’t miss out on everyone’s number one pizza topping. Meaty, hearty and delicious.

Any store bought tomato sauce is great. You can also make your own Spaghetti Sauce or for more spicy flavor my Arrabbiata Sauce

Step by step pictures showing how tomato sauce is mixed with spices and herbs.

Onion, garlic powder, dried oregano, red pepper flakes are used to add flavor to the sauce we use for the Pizza Bagels. Easy to do and with a fantastic result.

Vegan mozzarella is simply the best pizza cheese: melty, creamy, gooey.

How to make Pizza Bagels

Preheat oven to 420F.

Mix your tomato sauce with garlic, onion powder, oregano and red pepper flakes to make the pizza sauce.

You can use a cutting board and slice your bagels in half and place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper. On each half, use about 3 tsp of the pizza sauce, followed by 2 Tbs of mozzarella and finally 3 slices of pepperoni. You can also as you can see in the step-by-step pictures swap the order.

Bake the Pizza Bagels in the oven for 8 minutes.

Tips and tricks

Leftovers can be used for 3 days and can be reheated by putting them for around 30 seconds in the microwave.

As you can also see, I use 3 slices of mini pepperoni per Pizza Bagel. If you have larger slices, you can used them halved or quartered. In case you want to cut smaller round slices from larger ones, here is my pro tip: use a shot glas upside down and cut the smaller slices out like with a cookie cutter. 

For additional bagel toppings: use olives, bell pepper, onions, chilis or even use Alfredo Sauce to mix things up.

If you don’t have any bagels on hand, you can use pita bread
