• servings: 8 servings
• total time: 19 minutes

Ingredients

I was talking to @cassolive recently about how hard lunches are as a busy mom, especially when you’re trying to reach some protein goals & feel 💯

so let’s make this a fun series where I share all the best lunches for you to do just that! Up first… pizza lunchables🤩

8 servings/bagels (10g protein per bagel):

2 cup all purpose flour

2 cup plain, 0% Greek yogurt

2 tsp baking powder (omit if using a self rising flour)

A few pinches of pink salt

1 egg (for egg wash)

toppings of choice: I did oregano for pizza & some everything but the bagel

pizza toppings:

1/4 cup marinara sauce

1/4 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup mozzarella (1/4 cup per bagel side)

Turkey pepperonis or regular pepperonis (I did 1/2 serving)

Pizza seasoning for the top

Basil leaves

Directions

Mix the ingredients to form a dough and roll into a ball then creating a bagel by forming a hole in the centre. Coat with your egg wash and add desired toppings.

Bake at 375 for 15-20 mins in air fryer or a bit longer in the oven, until golden brown. Let cool.

Mix your marinara sauce with cottage cheese & some pizza spice. Slice your cooked bagel. Add the sauce, cheese, pepperoni. Add to the air fryer or broil for a couple minutes just until warm & the cheese is melted. Keep a close eye to avoid burning, especially if on broil. Remove then add fresh basil.

Enjoy!
