Prepare the bagels

Slice the mini bagels in half and arrange them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Use a serrated knife for clean cuts.

Add sauce

Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each bagel half.

Pro tip: Leave a small border around the edge for easy handling.

Top with cheese

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each bagel.

Pro tip: Use a mix of cheeses for extra flavour.

Add toppings

Arrange pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives on top of the cheese as desired.

Pro tip: Press down gently to help the toppings adhere.

Bake the pizzas

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Pro tip: Watch for the cheese to start browning slightly.
