Certainly! Here’s the Pepperoni Pizza Bagels recipe rewritten with Weight Watchers points and nutrition information:
Pepperoni Pizza Bagels
Yields: 12 mini bagels
Ingredients:
For the Bagels:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 egg white, beaten with a little water (for brushing)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- Flavorless oil (for handling the dough)
For the Pizza Toppings:
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup mini pepperoni
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 6 oz can tomato paste
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Bagels:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for 30 seconds more until melted.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add beaten eggs and mix well.
- Add melted cheese mixture to the almond flour mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined. If the dough becomes difficult to mix, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
- Divide the dough into 12 portions and shape each into a ball. Using oiled hands, form each ball into a bagel shape with a hole in the center. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the bagels with beaten egg white.
- Bake the Bagels:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Prepare the Pizza Toppings:
- Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
- In a bowl, mix tomato paste with enough water to make 1 cup of sauce. Stir in garlic salt, oregano, parsley, and chopped basil.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Slice each bagel in half horizontally. Spread pizza sauce on the cut sides of each bagel half.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni.
- Place bagels back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
