Easy, Breezy, Cheesy Stuffed Bread (Domino's Copycat Recipe)

Just like Domino's, this cheesy stuffed bread is crispy on top and chewy and very cheesy inside, but beware — it's very dangerous as it's hard to resist! I fell in love with this bread at Domino's and have been searching for a comparable recipe. After some trial and error, I came up with this, and it's pretty darn close! Plus it won't cost me $12 for food, delivery, and tip when I get a late-night craving and my toddler is fast asleep. Serve with marinara sauce.

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet Large, preferably non-stick or lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • 1 Rolling Pin For evenly rolling out the dough.
  • 1 Pastry Brush For applying melted butter evenly.
  • 1 Sharp Knife For scoring the dough before baking.

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 11 ounce package refrigerated French bread dough (such as Pillsbury)
  • 4 tablespoons 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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking sheet.
  • Roll dough on a flat work surface into a large rectangle. 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 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 and remaining 1 tablespoon Cheddar cheese, then sprinkle with parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder. Make shallow cuts every inch across the top with a knife so 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. Let cool for 5 minutes before pulling strips apart. Christina

Notes

To elevate this 'cheesy stuffed bread,' consider using a good quality refrigerated French bread dough or even a homemade pizza dough for a superior base. For the cheese blend, experimenting with smoked provolone or fontina can add depth; grating your own cheese ensures a smoother melt. Ensure the dough edges are crimped firmly to prevent cheese leakage during baking. For an extra layer of flavor, infuse the melted butter with finely minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately with a warm, rich marinara sauce, perhaps doctored with fresh basil, to complement the savory bread.
