Homemade Cheesy Pizza Bread

Is there anything better than soft cheesy pizza bread? According to my kids, there’s not. Every time I make this recipe it is gone in about 30 seconds and I wish I had doubled the recipe 🙂 Perfect fluffy soft crust that is hard to resist with warm melty cheese a little olive oil and garlic salt. To die for friends. Enjoy!

What You’ll Need

With just a handful of easy to find ingredients you can make cheesy pizza bread at home! Check the recipe card located at the bottom of my post for full instructions.

How To Make Cheesy Pizza Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and line pizza pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Yeast. Place warm water, yeast and sugar into mixer bowl. Have the dough hook attachment on. Mix gently and let nearly double in size, about 5 minutes.
  3. Prepare Pizza Dough. With mixer on low add flour, olive oil, salt and garlic salt. Scrape sides of bowl and let knead for 5 minutes until dough is cleaning sides of bowl. Add sprinkles of additional flour if it’s not. Remove dough with floured hands and transfer to a floured countertop. Fold dough over itself a couple times then form into a round.
  4. Place Pizza Dough Onto Pan. Place onto pizza pan and press into a 12 inch round, larger for a more thin crust. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt then top with cheeses.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes, until crust is cooked through. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve with a salad if desired.

I use a pizza cutter and cut into squares instead of wedges, but either works. The squares are perfect for dipping in pizza sauce or just eating alone.
