BAGEL PIZZAS

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings, plus additional sauce

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 bagels, split
Tomato Sauce, recipe follows, warmed
Shredded mozzarella, for topping
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for topping
Crumbled cooked pork sausage, for topping, optional
1/4 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic
Two 28-ounce cans whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
4 sprigs fresh oregano
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Arrange an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the oven to broil.
  • Lay the bagels out on a sheet pan. Toast them briefly in the oven, keeping a close eye on them as you want them to just brown. Spoon a healthy amount of warm Tomato Sauce over each bagel and top with some mozzarella, Parmesan and sausage if using. Return the bagel pizzas to the oven and turn the broiler off. They should be perfectly cooked after about 3 minutes. Cool for another 3 minutes, then serve.
  • Put a saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and garlic and saute until the garlic starts to color and become fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano and a healthy amount of salt, give a good stir and then cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes. Allow to sit for at least another 30 before checking the seasoning and using for whatever purpose you'd like.

Tips:

1. Bagel Selection: Choose fresh, chewy bagels. Day-old bagels tend to be drier and less flavorful. Avoid bagels that are too hard or crumbly. 2. Sauces: For a classic bagel pizza, use a simple tomato sauce made with crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs. Feel free to experiment with different sauces, such as pesto, Alfredo, or barbecue sauce. 3. Cheese: Use a good quality mozzarella cheese that melts well. Grating your own cheese is best, as pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that prevent it from melting smoothly. 4. Toppings: Choose flavorful toppings that pair well with your sauce of choice. Popular options include pepperoni, sausage, bacon, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Get creative and try different combinations to suit your taste. 5. Baking Temperature: Bake the bagel pizzas at a high temperature (450°F or 230°C) to ensure a crispy crust and melted cheese. 6. Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the bagel pizzas while baking, as they can burn quickly. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bagel and the toppings used.

Conclusion:

Bagel pizzas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With endless variations of sauces, cheeses, and toppings, you can create a bagel pizza that is perfect for any occasion. Try making bagel pizzas at home and let your creativity shine through. Enjoy the convenience of a bagel with the satisfaction of a pizza, all in one delicious bite.
