If you haven’t tried this Cheese and Garlic Crack Bread before, let me warn you now: garlic bread will never bethe same again. It’s like a pull apart bread, but tastes like garlic bread

This is INSANELY delicious. I especially love the way the bread is cut into diamond shapes so you can tear bite size pieces off. Every pieceis garlicky and buttery and oh-so-cheesy…….

This is one the kids go NUTS over, don’t say I didn’t warn you! And grown ups turn into little kids when they get stuck into this. I made this for adinner and let me tell you, ittook 5 hands about 30 seconds to demolish this!

Best bread – The best bread to use for Cheese and Garlic Crack Breadis crusty sourdough or another dense type of bread, but it works well with plain crusty loaves as well.

The reason it works better with sourdoughis because the bread is denser so the bread tends to hold together better when you pull bits off. But believe me, there is no compromise on flavour if you use other types of bread! In fact, in the photo I chose to use a crusty Vienna loaf because it was on special.

Best cheese –I really recommend using mozzarella cheese for this, you want it to stretch and pull when you tear the pieces off.

Other flavourings –I kept the flavours quite simple, going for a garlic bread with cheese, but you can go really wild with the flavours for this! Ranch dressing, kick of chilli, other herbs – the possibilities are endless!

Cheesy Breadsticks Made From Pizza Dough

When it comes out of the oven, it’s all golden, crusty and buttery on the inside and you know that’s just the start of the eating experience that’s about to commence….

Everybody goes so nuts over the cheese bits that you pull out, but my favourite part is thebase of the bread. All the butter and cheese drips to the bottom and it bakes so nice and crispy…..

This is a great centrepiece for a dinner that could just be accompanied bya fresh salad to make a complete meal. Or as a fabulous appetiser or party food – think game day!

Crazy Dough Cheesy Bread

It’s by far the most requested party food by my family and friends. I usually make it at home then take it to the venue and bake it there. Thebest way to make ahead is to use softened butter instead of melted butter and slather it into the cracks, then stuff with cheese. Wrap and bake before serving.

But you can evenbake it in advance then reheat quickly in the microwave as long as you use a crusty sourdough. The crust gets so crusty when you bake it, it stays crusty even if you reheat it in the microwave.

Go forth and enjoy! Make this cheesy garlic bread once, and you’ll be asked to make it again and again and again….

1. Make Ahead -The best way to make ahead is to usesoftened butter instead of melted butter, mix with garlic, salt and parsley then smear into the cracks. Stuff with cheese, wrap and refrigerate or freeze. To cook, thaw then follow recipe instructions to bake.

Homemade

To make ahead so that it just requires a brief 2 minute reheat in the microwave to serve, you must use a crusty sourdough loaf. Bake per recipe (including unwrapped stage), then wrap it up in foil and let it cool. Refrigerate up to 3 days, then to serve, just microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on high just to melt the cheese again. Because the crust gets so crusty in the oven, it stays crusty even when reheated in the microwave.

3. Speedy Tip **Update** A reader reminded me of a fabulous SPEEDY tip that I should share with you! Instead of melting the butter, cream it. Then cut diagonal slices (in one direction only) and use all the butter and generously spread it in each crack, on both walls. Then cut the bread to make diamonds and as you drag the knife through the bread, it will spread the butter into the new crevices you are cutting. This doesn't provide quite the same even coverage of butter but for a speedy version, it is a small compromise. Thank you to CJ for the tip!

The Best Cheesy Bread Recipe

These easy Cheesy Breadsticks are one of my favorite things to do with my Homemade Pizza Crust recipe. The pizza dough is so easy to make and instead of using it for pizza, I stretch it out, top it with a garlic butter mixture, a little seasoning, and plenty of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. They bake up golden brown and so incredibly delicious and it only takes about 20 minutes, from start to finish.

Easy

For a smaller batch of breadsticks, use half of the pizza dough and freeze the other half for pizza with my Easy No-Cook Pizza Sauce on another day.
