Ever feel like a short-order cook in your own home? Well, hang up that apron because I’ve got a secret weapon that’ll make you feel like a Michelin-starred chef (without the stress).

My kids think this dish is the fanciest thing since sliced baguette, but little do they know it’s easier than making instant ramen!

Let’s dive into this culinary magic trick that’ll have your kiddos begging for seconds (and thirds).

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Slice the French bread in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-inch sections.

3. Brush each piece of bread with olive oil.

4. Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce on each bread section.

5. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

6. Add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.

7. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over everything.

8. Place the pizza-fied bread pieces on the prepared baking sheet.

9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

10. Let cool for a few minutes before serving (if you can resist the aroma).

The Secret to ‘Fancy’ Success

The real magic of this dish? It’s all in the presentation!

Cut the bread on a diagonal for that extra touch of ‘fancy’.

Sprinkle some fresh basil on top just before serving, and voila! You’ve got a gourmet meal that took less time than deciding what to watch on Netflix.

Your kids will think you’ve suddenly become a culinary genius, and you can bask in the glow of their admiration (while secretly giggling at how easy it was).
