Anyone that follows my pages knows that I LOVE easy recipes…especially ones that my daughter can help with. Using Pillsbury dough as a base makes this garlic cheese bread loaf a breeze. You’ll save both time and effort without compromising on taste. I mean, who doesn’t love garlic bread?? All you need to do is take out the french bread dough, cut slashes on the top, smother it in a mixture of melted butter and minced garlic, then generously sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Once baked, the dough turns into a beautifully golden and flaky crust covered with rich garlic butter and melted, gooey cheese. It’s a semi-DIY recipe that delivers delicious results every time, making it a go-to for any garlic bread lover. In our opinion, it’s best served with spaghetti and meat sauce!
Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with foil. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the dough from the can and put it seam side down on the foil.
Using a sharp knife cut 1/2″ deep slashes about 1″ apart throughout the top of the loaf.
Mix the butter and garlic in a small bowl and then brush it on top of the dough.
Fill each slash with the shredded mozarella.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
