Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread

Warm bread, cheese and garlic – just one word – yum!!

Given the choice between candy and bread I’ll choose bread almost every time. Cover that bread with cheese and garlic and it wins hands down!

Whenever we order pizza I am the boring cheese girl. I love my cheese pizza. So when no one else wants cheese but me I’ll order some cheesy bread for myself and let everyone else choose the pizza toppings. Give me some Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread and a yummy salad and I’m a happy girl.

The steps are pretty easy. You do need to work with yeast but I promise if you use a thermometer to check the temperature of your water that is the hardest part. The rest is a piece of cake or rather a piece of stuffed cheesy garlic bread!

The bread uses a combination of cheeses which includes cheddar, mozzarella and a parmesan/romano blend. It is pure cheese goodness, inside and out. Not only is the bread topped with a nice layer of cheese but there is cheese sandwiched in between the layers of dough.

 

Pull apart the layers to reveal a lovely layer of gooey cheese!

I still am not looking.

I am thinking that I could cheat and use refrigerated pizza dough as a short cut.
