Ingredients

  • cup flour plus a little more for flouring the surface.
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil to brush on top of bagels
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • cup mozarella cheese
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese

Toppings

Vegetarian Pizza Bagel Bites

  • ¼ cup red bell pepper finely diced
  • 2 tablespoon mushrooms finely diced

Hawaiian Pizza Bagel Bites

  • ¼ cup pineapple finely diced

Pepperoni

  • ¼ cup pepperoni finely diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and Italian seasoning to a large bowl and whisk together to combine. Add in the Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Form into a ball.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece between your hands into a long sausage shape, then join the ends together to form a bagel shape with a small hole in the centre. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Slice each bagel in half and place cut-side up on the baking sheet. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce onto each bagel half. Top with the mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend and your choice of toppings.
  • Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
