Pizza Night Without The Dough

A bagel, a spoonful of sauce, a handful of mozzarella — that's dinner in about fifteen minutes, and nobody at the table complains. It's the meal you can hand off to a kid who wants to help, and the one you fall back on when the day got away from you.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these on busy weeknights, for after-school snacks, and for the Friday nights when everyone wants pizza but nobody wants to wait on delivery.

Every recipe here is a version worth keeping: homemade pizza bagels with sauce and shredded mozzarella, Air Fryer Pizza Bagels, air fried pepperoni pizza bagels with mini pepperoni, hot honey pepperoni on bagel thins, Mummy Pizza Bagels for Halloween, Breakfast Pizza Bagels with sausage and country gravy, and mini bagels for little hands.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Toast the bagel first

    Give the cut halves 2 to 3 minutes under the broiler or in the toaster before saucing so the middle doesn't turn soggy.

  2. 2

    Go light on sauce

    About 1 tablespoon per bagel half is plenty; more than that runs over the edge and burns onto the pan.

  3. 3

    Watch the air fryer

    At 350°F most pizza bagels are done in 5 to 6 minutes — check at 4, since cheese goes from melted to brown fast.

  4. 4

    Freeze a batch ahead

    Build them, freeze flat on a sheet pan for 1 hour, then bag them and bake straight from frozen, adding about 5 minutes.
