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:
- Choose the right bagel: For a crispy crust, choose a sturdy bagel like an everything bagel or a sourdough bagel. For a softer crust, choose a plain bagel or a poppy seed bagel.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is the base of your bagel pizza, so make sure it's flavorful and delicious. Use a store-bought sauce or make your own using your favorite recipe.
- Don't overload the bagel: Bagels are small, so don't overload them with toppings. A few slices of cheese, a handful of pepperoni, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese are all you need.
- Bake the bagel pizza until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This usually takes about 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the bagel pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving: This will help the cheese set and prevent it from running all over the place.
Conclusion:
Bagel pizzas are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious meal. They're perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack.
