We love this Italian Cheese Bread Recipe!

I have done this many, many times over the years. It goes well with soups in the fall or grilled meats in the summer. We also like Italian dishes like spaghetti or other pastas.

It's one of the easiest dough recipes I've ever made – it comes together easily and quickly and always turns out great! I don't precisely measure the filling ingredients (it's like dumping and sprinkling, haha!), and it always turns out delicious. Sometimes I cut this into wedges, and sometimes I cut it into strips or even squares.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does!

Ingredients for Cheesy Italian Bread

Ingredients for the dough:

2 1/2+ cups all purpose flour
1 t. salt
1 t. sugar
1 T. yeast
1 c. warm water
1 T. oil

Top ingredients:

2 T. Italian salad dressing (or 1 T. olive oil)
3/4 t. garlic salt
dash pepper
2 T. parmesan cheese
1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 t. Italian seasoning

How to Make Cheesy Italian Bread:

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.

2. In a small bowl, combine warm water and oil. Add the flour mixture and stir well.

3. Knead on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes, adding more flour if needed.

4. Cover, and let rise in an oiled bowl in a warm place for 20 minutes.

5. Preheat the oven to 450º F.

6. After the dough has risen, press it into a greased 12 inch pizza pan (I use an ungreased pizza stone).

7. Dress with salad dressing (you can also brush with olive oil and use more garlic salt if you don't like Italian dressing) and sprinkle with spices and cheese.

8. Bake at 450ºF for 15 minutes.
