Cheesy Bread Recipe
Cheesy Bread
Ingredients
Dough:
- 2.5 C flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp yeast
- 1 Cup warm water 120*F
- 1 Tbsp oil
Topping:
- 1/4 C prepared Italian salad dressing
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- dash pepper
- 1-2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 C shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the first four ingredients.
- Combine water and oil; add to flour mixture.
- Add additional flour if needed to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
- Punch the dough down; place on a greased 16" pizza pan and pat into a 16" circle.
- Combine salad dressing and seasonings, brush evenly over dough, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle with cheeses.
- For a fluffier cheese bread, at this point, allow the bread to rest for 15 minutes or so. If you're in a hurry, just skip this rise. (The bread will rise while it bakes, too.)
- Preheat the oven to 450*F. Bake for 11 minutes or until golden brown. Slice. Serve warm.

Mmmmmmm…cheesy bread. I actually like it better than pizza 🙂
Your dough recipe looks yummy but you might want to give the Pizza Hut (food.com) dough recipe a try – it’s fantastic and freezes beautifully!
Love your blog!
P.S. We live in Vegas and Cafe Rio is EVERYWHERE – I will crate one up and send to you posthaste. Did you want with or without mariachi music?

Oh man, I love cheesy bread, especially when it is in the shape of a pizza pie!

Looks so yummy, but too much for two people. Obviously I’ll have to invite someone over for dinner to justify making this recipe. I think I’ll wait until you post to the salad.

My husband wants bread with every meal so I end up making bread often. Your bread recipes are always delicious! My family really enjoys your Cheesy Garlic Bread, Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread and Blitz Bread. I will try this new one soon!
