October is National Pizza Month! It was first observed in 1984 by
Gerry Durnell, founder of Pizza Today magazine. In 1987,
National Pizza Month was designated by Congress. In recent
years, Pizza Today teamed up with Karen Mullen Breast Cancer
Foundation in the fight against Breast Cancer. Together they
created “Slice of Hope”, which is a charity designed to raise
money for Breast Cancer Awareness through participating
pizzerias across the country. October 11th has been named “Slice of
Hope Day” in which pizzerias can choose to donate a portion of
their sales to the Slice of Hope charity.

Ingredients:
 1 (11 oz) can refrigerated
breadstick dough
 2 slices cheddar cheese,
quartered (optional)
 8 hot dogs
 Black mustard seeds
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. If desired, place one cheddar cheese slice on your hot
dog. Then wrap each dog to look like a mummy, leaving a
open area for the eyes.
3. Cut two tiny slits in the exposed hot dog and insert
two black mustard seeds for eyes. If you'd like to give
your mummies entire faces, you can cut a little slit for a
mouth, which will gape open a bit during cooking.
4. Place mummy dogs on an ungreased baking sheet and
bake around 15 minutes, until golden.
5. Serve with plenty of ketchup and mustard and listen to
the kids rave about
having such Halloween recipes fun.
