Bagel Pizza – Dinner Can’t Get Easier! #SundaySupper

Did you know that October is National Pizza Month? I think it’s the perfect month for it! Our pizza consumption tends to wane in the summer months but when the fall rolls around and the nights get cooler and my kids schedules get busier, pizza becomes a go-to dinner for us. If you’ve never made a bagel pizza, you need to get on it. Dinner can’t get any easier than this.

Bagel Pizza History

Raise your hand if your mom ever made you English Muffin pizzas with tomato paste and cheddar cheese slices! I can still taste them! These bagel pizzas are a slightly fancier version. I hesitate to even use the word fancy anywhere here in this post. Fancy is relative.

Bagel Pizza = Kids in the kitchen!

Bagel pizzas are a GREAT way to get your kids in the kitchen. I will often slice up a bunch of bagels and let the kids prep the ingredients. The boys always go for pizza sauce while my older daughter is all about the pesto. Shredding cheese, slicing cheese, scrounging for pepperoni or colorful peppers are all fun tasks for the kids. At this time of year, we even have peppers still in our garden as well as chives, scallions, and crunchy arugula – an excellent topper AFTER the bagel pizzas or pita pizzas come out of the oven!

We discovered that pitas make just as excellent a quick pizza base as do bagels just this year. We were so lucky to find Against The Grain Gluten-Free Pitas at our local Earth Fare supermarket. So good!!

So, next time you need an easy lunch or dinner or you want to put your kids to work … have them make a bagel pizza! (Or pita pizzas!!)
