Why Make Pepperoni Pizza BagelS?
Pizzas definitely bring me lots of joy, that’s why I love my Saturday pizza nights. But on days when I am craving a delicious pie before the weekend, I quickly prepare this treat. And it is surprisingly light and like pizza, the are uncountable variations to make each bagel your own.
I was in a phase where I was loving bagels and one fine afternoon, I decided to fulfill my pizza craving by adding a quick, “raw” tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and some pepperoni on an everything bagel. Bagels enjoyed like this… all I can say is mama mia!
Pepperoni Pizza Bagel Recipe
I enjoy bagels when they are warm enough to become soft and fluffy, while still being lightly toasted. The best way I can enjoy my pizza bagels this would, with a molten bubbly cheese is under the oven broiler.
You can use any one of your favourite bagels, except the sweet variety. That probably wont pair well with pepperoni. I enjoy either cheese or everything bagels for this recipe.
1. For the sauce, simply add passata (strained tomatoes) to a small bowl, sprinkle with salt, oregano, drizzle of olive oil and chilli flakes if desired. Mix well and spread on the bagel.
2. Add some shredded mozzarella, one slice of provolone cheese, and three pepperonis on each side of the bagel. Then, place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack.
3. Place oven rack at second highest position in oven, turn on the broiler
4. Cook until desired doneness, I like my cheese molten with some brown spots.
5. Serve hot and enjoy! Sprinkle on an extra dash of chili flakes if desired!
