Kids can also join in while making Pizza Bagels, They are an easy recipe for dinner or just for breakfast. My kids love our Friday night pizza nights. While we try and encourage a little creativity with ingredients, our kids mostly prefer plain cheese or, on a good day, pepperoni. My daughter, Sienna, helped me create this delicious recipe for kids (and adults).
