Ingredients
Scale
Bread:
- 1 loaf Italian bread or French baguette
Cheese:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (113 grams)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Position the oven rack to the middle and heat to 200°C (400°F), ensuring even temperature distribution.
- Slice the bread horizontally with a sharp knife, creating two equal halves to maximize surface area for topping.
- Combine minced garlic, melted butter, dried oregano, and dried parsley in a mixing bowl, whisking until ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- Generously coat the interior bread surfaces with the aromatic garlic butter mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Distribute mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly across the buttered bread, creating a rich and dense cheese layer.
- Delicately drizzle olive oil over the cheese, enhancing flavor and promoting golden browning.
- Transfer bread halves onto a baking sheet, positioning cut sides upward for optimal heat exposure and cheese melting.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, monitoring until cheese becomes gloriously melted, bubbly, and bread edges transform into a crispy golden hue.
- Remove from oven and allow bread to rest for 2-3 minutes, enabling cheese to set slightly and preventing immediate burning.
- Slice into convenient strips or squares, perfect for sharing or individual servings.
Notes
- Choose a fresh, crusty Italian or French bread for the best texture and flavor profile that mimics Domino’s signature cheesy garlic bread.
- Grate cheese fresh instead of using pre-shredded varieties to ensure maximum meltability and rich, authentic taste.
- Add red pepper flakes or chili powder for a spicy kick that elevates the classic garlic bread recipe and creates a more complex flavor experience.
- For a healthier version, swap regular butter with olive oil and use whole wheat bread or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate different dietary needs.
