Are you ready for Halloween? Purchased the candy and costume yet?

I will share with you that once your children reach teenagers, Halloween isn't the same. They make plans with their friends and leave you behind. It's all part of growing up.

For me, there's no running from store to store trying to find the perfect costume that your child told you that he wanted months ago. I may not have to deal with that this year, but at least my family can have a simple dinner that requires less time, ingredients, and something the whole family can enjoy at any age.

Ingredient Notes

1. French bread - Grab a loaf of freshly baked French bread from your local grocery store bakery.
2. Butter - Any butter that you have on hand will work, salted or unsalted both work fine for this pizza recipe.
3. Garlic - Try using fresh garlic if available or the pre-minced in a jar will work as well.
4. Olive oil - Any olive oil that you have.
5. Parmesan cheese - Find grated Parmesan cheese in the cheese section of your local grocery store. Make sure it is finely grated if pre-grated or get a whole piece of cheese and grate it yourself with a box grater.
6. Italian seasoning - This will help to add additional flavor to the pizza. You can also add some crushed red pepper if you would like some added heat/spice.
7. Mozzarella cheese - Mozzarella cheese slices or a block that you can slice yourself work best to create the 'bandages' of the mummy.
8. Marinara sauce - Any that you prefer will work.
9. Black olives - This will create the mummy eyes on the pizza.

Instructions

Begin the recipe by preheating the oven to 400 degrees F. and slice a loaf of French bread evenly down the middle to create two halves. Flatten out the middle of each piece by pressing it down firmly with your hands. Place onto a baking sheet/sheet pan and set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese.

Next, spread this mixture evenly onto the center of each loaf of French bread.

With the bread still on the baking sheet, place it into the oven to bake for 6 to 10 minutes, until lightly toasted.

Carefully remove from the oven and spread the marinara sauce on the toasted French bread, top with your favorite toppings, and then place your sliced mozzarella cheese on top and along with the two olives for the eyes.

Place under the broiler on low until the cheese is melted and heated throughout. Keep an eye on it while it is in the oven. Carefully remove from the pizza oven. Slice and serve while still warm. Enjoy!

Storage

If you have any leftovers of this pizza, place it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
