Recipe Summary Easy, Breezy, Cheesy Stuffed Bread (Domino's&Reg; Copycat Recipe)

This cheesy stuffed bread is crispy on top, chewy inside and very cheesy, but beware... it's very dangerous. You can get addicted! I fell in love with this particular side from Domino's® and have been searching for a comparable recipe. After some trial and error I figured out one that is pretty darn close and won't cost me $12 for food, delivery fee, and tip when the craving is overwhelming late at night and my toddler is fast asleep. Serve with marinara sauce.

Ingredients | Cheesy Pesto Bread Recipe

1 (11 ounce) package refrigerated French bread dough (such as Pillsbury®)

¼ cup melted butter, divided

1 tablespoon cornmeal

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon shredded Cheddar cheese

1 pinch dried parsley

1 pinch garlic powder

1 pinch onion powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.

Roll dough out into a large rectangle on a flat work surface. Brush with 3 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with cornmeal. Flip dough over and scatter mozzarella cheese, Mexican cheese blend, and 1 cup Cheddar cheese on top. Fold the dough in half and press edges together with your fingers to seal.

Brush remaining 1 tablespoon butter over dough and lightly sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese, dried parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make shallow cuts 1 inch apart across the top with a knife, so that you can easily pull the bread apart after baking.

Bake in the preheated oven until bread is golden brown and cheese is bubbly about 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before pulling strips apart.

The beauty of this recipe is that it can be tinkered with to suit your individual tastes. Add crumbled bacon and/or jalapenos to the cheese to give it an extra kick, or other favorite ingredients.

You can use your own bread dough recipe if you prefer. I just recommended the Pillsbury(R) one because it's fast and has worked out well for me. Follow directions on the package if you use a different brand.
