Instructions

  1. 01

    First, line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. 02

    Next, place the bagels cut side down on the baking sheet. Brush them with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Bake until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes, then remove them from the oven.

  3. 03

    Carefully flip the bagels over so the cut sides are facing up. Evenly distribute the sauce amongst the bagels and spread into an even layer, then top bagels with shredded mozzarella cheese. Finish with a pinch of salt and pepperoni or other optional toppings if desired.

  4. 04

    Bake the pizza bagels in the oven until the cheese is bubbly, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
