If you love the warm, buttery, pull-apart cheesy bread from Domino’s, you’ll adore this homemade take. It delivers the same crispy edges, soft center, and gooey melted cheese that make it impossible to stop at just one piece.
The best part is you can make it at home with simple pantry ingredients—no delivery fees and no waiting. Store-bought dough (Aldi’s pizza dough is a great budget option) works perfectly and gives you that classic texture. This recipe is ideal for game day, a quick side for pasta night, or a comforting snack when you want something cheesy.

Ingredients Needed for This Recipe
- 1 store-bought pizza dough (or homemade dough of similar thickness)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

- Salt, to taste

How to Make Stuffed Cheesy Bread
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Roll the pizza dough into a rough rectangle about 1/2 inch thick—no need to be precise; a rustic shape works fine.
Lay a generous layer of shredded mozzarella over half the dough. Don’t skimp—this is what gives the bread its gooey center.
Fold the other side of the dough over the cheese, sealing the edges gently. Cut the folded dough into 8 equal portions and sprinkle the shredded cheese blend over the tops of each piece.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Brush the tops and edges with melted butter, then sprinkle garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and a little Italian seasoning or parsley. Add grated Parmesan over the top if you like. Return to the oven for an additional 4–5 minutes to brown and finish the crust.
Allow the bread to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice into breadstick-sized pieces. Serve warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.
Pro Tips
- Use a hot oven to achieve crispy edges and a soft center.
- Avoid overloading with sauce before baking to prevent sogginess.
- Brush a little extra butter on top right after baking for extra flavor.
- Mix mozzarella with provolone or a pizza blend for deeper flavor.
- If you prefer a thicker bread, let the shaped dough rest for 10 minutes before baking.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat and restore crispiness, warm in an air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes or bake in a preheated oven until heated through. Avoid the microwave when possible, as it can make the bread soft.
