Easy cheesy bread is the ultimate crowd pleasing comfort food. It's warm, buttery, and loaded with gooey melted cheese in every bite. It has that perfect balance of crispy edges and soft dough that makes it absolutely irresistible. Whether you're serving it as a party appetizer, a game day snack, or a side dish everyone will reach for first. It's always a guaranteed hit for any occasion. It's simple, satisfying, and an absolute must try.
My recipe isn't just good - it's the kind that disappears from the table before anything else. I use a simple method with flavorful ingredients that guarantee soft, buttery bread with perfectly golden, cheesy edges every time. The balance of melted cheese, garlic, and seasoning is spot on and not too greasy or too heavy. It's easy to make and delivers that fresh-from-the-bakery taste right at home. If you want cheesy bread that people will be talking about, this one is it.
What To Serve This With
This bread can truly go with anything you'd like. Sometimes we serve this with our main course for dinner or alone as a quick lunch or snack. It would also be a great addition to any appetizer spread.
Ingredients
- Prepared Pizza Dough- I like to use Pillsbury Thin Pizza Dough but any pizza dough would absolutely work. Just be sure to roll it out thin. Thats the key to the bread.
- Butter- A little adds a ton of flavor and richness
- Parmesan Cheese- Adds a salty, nutty flavor and crisps the bread up very nicely.
- Mozzarella Cheese- Be sure to shred the cheese yourself and avoid the pre shredded stuff that comes in a bag. It will melt much better that way.
- Seasonings- Salt, pepper, garlic power and Italian seasoning all play their party to add lots of flavor.
- Parsley- This is an optional garnish but It adds a nice pop of color.

How To Make It
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
First, lay the pizza dough out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roll it out until it's in a thin, rectangular shape. Pour the melted butter over the dough and using a pastry brush, spread it out all the way to the edges. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Next, evenly sprinkle the parmesan and mozzarella cheese on to. Place it into rhe center rack of the oven for bout 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the dough is cooked through.

Finally, sprinkle some dried parsley on top (optional), slice the cheesy garlic bread in half horizontally and make several vertical cuts about an inch and a half thick. Serve warm and enjoy.

Storage
Let the garlic bread cool down and place it into an air tight container. It will last in the refrigerator for up to three days.
