Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the mini bagel pizzas evenly.
- Slice the mini bagels in half and place them cut side up on a baking sheet to create a base for the toppings.
- Evenly spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each bagel half, covering the surface but not overflowing.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce on each bagel to create that classic cheesy layer.
- Arrange pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor in every bite.
- Lightly sprinkle Italian seasoning on each mini pizza to add a herby and savory touch.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and enhance flavor melding.
Notes
You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers for variety. Use mini bagels that are slightly stale for better crispiness after baking. Italian seasoning can be replaced with dried oregano or basil for different flavor profiles. For a spicier option, add red pepper flakes before baking. These mini bagel pizzas are best served warm and fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
