Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water

- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

All-purpose flour should be measured accurately to ensure the dough rises properly, and warm water must be at the right temperature (around 110degF) to activate the instant yeast effectively. Using fresh garlic will enhance the garlic butter flavor, while a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses provides the perfect balance of meltiness and sharpness. Olive oil is essential for a tender dough texture and helps achieve a golden crust, so avoid substituting with other oils. Your shredded cheeses should be evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite. Domino's Cheesy Bread from the Domino's Pizza copycat menu offers a deliciously cheesy, garlicky snack with a fluffy interior and crisp crust.

Substitution
Domino's Cheesy Bread from the copycat menu replicates the iconic golden breadsticks topped with melted mozzarella cheese and garlic butter, offering a crispy crust and savory flavor. You can substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or Colby for a slightly different taste while maintaining the gooey texture. When melting the garlic butter, use softened unsalted butter to avoid burning and ensure an even spread over the breadsticks. If instant yeast is unavailable, active dry yeast can be used but requires proofing in warm water before mixing with flour. For best results, let the dough rise in a warm area until doubled in size before baking on parchment-lined sheets.
Tips
Ensure your yeast is fresh and the water temperature is warm but not hot, ideally between 100degF and 110degF, to properly activate the yeast for a good dough rise. When kneading the dough, work it until it becomes smooth and slightly elastic, which improves texture and helps your cheesy bread rise well. Brush the garlic butter generously and evenly to infuse the bread with flavor and achieve a glossy, golden crust. Let the bread cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set slightly, making slicing easier and preventing the cheese from pulling off.
Nutritions
Domino's Cheesy Bread provides a rich source of carbohydrates from the all-purpose flour, which fuels your body with energy. The combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses contributes protein and calcium, essential for muscle repair and bone health. Garlic and Italian seasoning add antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties without extra calories. This savory treat contains a moderate amount of fats from olive oil and butter, which support cell function and add flavor to your meal.
Storage
Store leftover cheesy bread in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil to maintain freshness. Refrigerate for up to 3 days, and before serving, reheat in a preheated oven at 350degF (175degC) for 5-7 minutes to restore its crispy crust and gooey cheese texture. Your stored cheesy bread will remain delicious and ready for a quick snack or meal addition.
Variation or Alternatives
You can substitute the mozzarella cheese with provolone or gouda for a different cheesy flavor profile that still melts well. Using garlic powder instead of fresh garlic can provide a milder, less intense garlic taste and a smoother application. Incorporating rosemary or thyme instead of Italian seasoning adds a fresh, herbal twist complementing the buttery garlic base. For a crispier texture, bake the breadsticks on a preheated pizza stone instead of a baking sheet to enhance the crust's crunchiness.
Allergies
Domino's Cheesy Bread contains common allergens such as wheat gluten from all-purpose flour and dairy from mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses, which can trigger reactions in individuals sensitive to gluten or lactose. The inclusion of butter also adds dairy protein, potentially causing issues for those with milk allergies. Your allergy management should include carefully checking ingredient labels and consulting with Domino's for cross-contamination risks if you have severe food sensitivities.
