Pizza Bagels

This recipe post is a bit too easy, we know. Pizza bagels have been an American staple since 1974 because they are cheap and easy to make. But after last weeks marathon of a recipe for bagels, we decided to keep it cheap and easy for today.

Now you may be asking yourself, “Did D&E really go through all the trouble of making homemade bagels only to use them for pizza bagels?”

There is no easy way to say this: yes, yes we did.
