I love this cheesy Italian bread recipe!
I’ve made this many times over the years. It goes great with soups in the fall and with grilled meat in the summer. It also goes well with Italian dishes such as spaghetti and other pastas.
This is one of the easiest dough recipes I’ve ever made. It comes together easily and quickly with great results every time. I never measure out the topping ingredients exactly (more like dump and sprinkles, haha!), but they always turn out delicious. This is sometimes cut into wedges, and sometimes into strips or squares.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did.
