Bagels are delicious at the best of times. But a bagel with a pizza topping is just completely next level. Kids LOVE pizza and this is a lunch that they can easily get involved in making because there really isn’t that much too it at all!
The trick with these pizza bagels is the tomato sauce and using the right cheese. For years I used tomato puree and cheddar. Oh how wrong was I (despite getting used to it!) Swap those two out for pizza topping sauce (yep has the herbs and the flavouring mixed in) and mozzarella cheese (pre grated) for that authentic pizza taste.
