Found this great recipe for homemade mini deep dish pizzas. I thought, this is definitely a better alternative to store bought bagel bites and boy was I right. Taylor has the day off so I thought I’d try them for lunch. He said the sauce is better than most pizza sauces he has tasted, score! My favorite marinara sauce is Newman’s Own – Organic. So I used that as the base.
What you will need:
3-4 whole wheat tortillas (or whatever you have)
1 can pizza sauce – Like I said, I used the Newman’s Own Marinara, and I didn’t use even close to 1 can. But I’m not a huge sauce person either.
3/4 cup shredded mozz. cheese
Parmesan cheese (the original recipe says 1/4 cup, but I didn’t measure.)
Regular or turkey pepperonis (minis would be best) Or just cut a whole into 4 pieces.
1 tsp. italian seasonings (or basil, oregano, etc…)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Pinch or sweetener, I used organic sugar
Pinch of pepper
Of course you could add ham, veggies, anything you would normally eat on a pizza. š
 |
| Use a cookie cutter to cut 12 circles from the tortillas. |
 |
| Line a muffin tin with each tortilla. You have to push them down in there, some will pop out. This was the most frustrating part. |
 |
| Pour pizza sauce in to mixing bowl. |
 |
| Add parmesan. |
 |
| And spices (including sugar) |
 |
| Spoon sauce mix in to each tortilla. |
 |
| Top with mozzarella. |
 |
| Then pepperonis. |
 |
| Bake at 425 for about 12 minutes. Edges should be crispy and cheese melted. |
Serving Size: 1 bagel, 66 calories.
