Copycat Italian Cheese Bread

Little Caesar’s Italian Cheese Bread is one of our favorites! This is my copycat Italian Cheese Bread recipe! Can’t beat homemade!

My kids love Little Caesar’s Italian Cheese Bread, but it gets expensive to buy it many times a month especially since we always get a couple boxes each time.  I bought a couple cheese bread kits from a fundraiser and thought I can totally make this myself!  So I did!  This is my copycat italian cheese bread recipe.  Saves me money and saves me the extra trip out which is nice.  I can make plenty for my family and they like mine just as much!  Try it and let me know what you think!

After mixing up the dough, and letting it raise. Press it into a 9×13 baking dish that has been lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. I like to line the dish with fail because it is much easier to cut the cheese bread if you are able to lift it out of the pan.  Let this rise while your oven preheats.

Once the oven is preheated sprinkle 2 cups of an italian blend of pre-shredded cheese over the top.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes.  The cheese with be golden brown.

Melt 4 Tbs. butter and pour over the top of the cheese bread while brush it around with a pastry brush.  Sprinkle garlic salt and italian seasoning blend over the top of the cheese bread.

Lift the hot italian cheese bread out of the baking dish and set it on a cutting board.  Cut into 12 strips with a pizza cutter.  Serve!
