This Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread recipe is a copycat version of Dominos Stuffed Garlic bread which is a homemade, creamy, cheesy garlic flavored bread recipe.
When we lived in Bangalore, Dominos Pizza was our favorite go-to place for Pizzas. My husband and I almost went there every week. Our favorite dishes were stuffed garlic bread, pizzas, and choco lava cake.
After I moved to the USA, we looked for similar stuffed garlic bread in the Dominos menu. But, unfortunately, we could not find it on their menu.
So I decided to make this dish at my home. I found this recipe from the BharatzKitchen blog. So one day, I surprised my husband by making this dish, and I still remember the joy on his face.
This dish is also very memorable because I started my blogging career with this recipe. I shot my first youtube cooking video with this recipe.
I have shown how to make Dominos-style stuffed cheesy garlic bread in this recipe. If you want to make only the garlic breadsticks available in Dominos, follow the same process but skip adding mayonnaise and sweet corn.

How to Make Dominos Style Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread
For Garlic Dough Recipe
Firstly, take warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
Rest for 10 minutes in a warm place. After 10 minutes, yeast is activated. (*You will start seeing tiny bubbles)
Furthermore, add oil, butter, maida (all-purpose flour), and salt. Butter is optional here.
Then add minced garlic, oregano, and red chili flakes. Knead the dough well for at least 10 minutes (to activate gluten). You can add 1-2 tablespoons of extra water if the dough is too tight.
Make the dough smooth and stretchy; otherwise, garlic bread will turn hard and chewy.
Allow the dough for proofing. Lightly drizzle some oil on the bowl and the dough. Cover it with a tea towel or cling wrap and let it proof for 2 hours in a warm place.
OR
You can use an Instant Pot. Oil the Instant pot steel insert, place the dough. Close the lid, select the 'YOGURT' button, set the pressure value to 'Sealing,' and set the timer to 1 hour.
For Garlic Butter Recipe
Mix in melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley or coriander leaves in a small bowl.
For Stuffed Garlic Bread Recipe
After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size, then punch the dough. Next, I proofed (raised) the dough in Instant Pot.
Sprinkle lots of cornmeal (also known as "makki ka atta" in Hindi) on a flat surface (for outer crunchy coating). Roll the dough into a circle.
Meanwhile, place parchment paper or spread some butter on the baking tray. Transfer the prepared circle onto the tray, and spread the prepared garlic butter over the dough generously.
Further spread some mayonnaise, top with boiled sweet corn and mozzarella cheese on one half of the circle.
Also, season with chili flakes and oregano on top.
Fold the dough into a semicircle and seal the edges properly else, the cheese will come out.
Then brush a generous amount of prepared garlic butter on top along with some chili flakes and oregano seasoning.
Mark the garlic bread into breadsticks without cutting them entirely.
Bake in preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius (365 °F) for 20-25 minutes or until you have a nice golden brown color.
Cut the stuffed garlic bread into breadsticks when hot.
Serve hot with mayonnaise or cream cheese, or garlic dipping.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Stuffed Garlic Bread with ketchup, mayonnaise, or sriracha mayo. Any soft drink or soda goes well with this.
Tips & Variations to make Best Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread
- Do not forget to add sugar to the yeast and warm milk mixture. Sugar acts as a catalyst that kicks start the yeast fermentation process.
- You can also use warm water instead of warm milk. Milk should be just lukewarm. If it's too hot, it will kill the yeast. If it's too cold, it will not activate the yeast in the first place.
- Cornmeal is optional, but this is a secret ingredient used in Dominos to make garlic bread crust crispy.
- Proofing time (raising the dough) in a normal bowl at the countertop takes 2 hours. In an Instant Pot, it takes 1 hour.
- Always preheat the oven for 10 min before baking.
- I have used only mozzarella cheese here, but you can use a blend of both Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese.
- You can use either active dry yeast or instant yeast. Instant yeast takes less time for proofing.

awsome recipe
bhavana says
Thank you
bhavana says
Yeah i have used 1 cup of flour for 1/2 cup of water.i have made this recipe couple of times...usually it happens like i add extra 1/4 cup of flour but not 1 cup extra flour.sorry about that.in that case you can reduce water.Let me know how the end result turned out to be.
bhavana says
Thank you so much for highlighting this mistake...i have updated my blog now ,thank you once again.You are right it should be 1/4 cup of milk.
Chandni says
Hi Mam, I want to try this recipe but I don’t have oven/micro. What other options do I have..? Can I do it on pan ..?
bhavana says
Hi Chandni..I havent tried in a pressure cooker or pan.But i see some recipes online using a pan.Check this for your reference.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Cqe4TpvhA ..it should work.
DIKSHA SHARMA says
hi
recipe looks awesome ... using same measurements the dough is tighter than it looks in your video... ( 1/4 cup milk and 1 cup maida) lets c how it turns out
bhavana says
Let me know how it turned out.As you add oil as well it gets softer..you have to knead atleast 5-10 minutes till gluten is formed.next time you can add 1-2 extra tablespoon of milk or water while kneading.Waiting for your feedback.
Shivani says
This really looks authentic....just one doubt ...can I use only processed cheese as I have no access to market during this lockdown .
bhavana says
Hey Shivani,Yes you can use processed cheese as well.Mozzarella gives elastic texture so thats recommended.but any cheese will work.
SHRUTI SHAH says
It’s an awesome recipe!
Mine one tasted great but turned out more like stick than bread...what could be wrong?
What diameter approximately you roll the dough?
Thank you!!!
bhavana says
I believe 2 things would have gone wrong ,one is the dough consistency, should not be too sticky or too tight.other reason is yeast would have not worked well so flour might have not raised well ,so it was hard..You can master it next attempt.
NG says
What is Vent to sealing? I am new to IP as well as dough proofing. Please advise.
bhavana says
Hi Neha ,if you see 'Steam Release Valve' which is similar to whistle in indian pressure cooker.there you can see "VENTING" & "SEALING".Sealing is mainly used to build the pressure and venting to release.let me know if u have more questions.
Neha says
Thanks Bhavna.. actually I am still confused if I should set IP on venting or sealing? Your comment days vent to sealing. Sorry if this sounds too naive to you!
bhavana says
Oil the Instant pot steel insert, place the dough. Close the lid, select the 'YOGURT' button, set the pressure value to 'Sealing' and set the timer to 1 hour.
I have updated the blog post.it was bit confusing earlier.:).Hope this helps
Neha says
Thank you very much ?
Rita says
Thank you for the recipe. I have a small doubt.what if the dough doesn't rise.what do we do in that case
bhavana says
Hi Rita,If the dough doesnt rise then garlic bread will be hard.To fix this you may want to proof the dough for some more time in a warm place,even if that doesnt work then ,you can still bake it but it wont be like bread instead will be like garlic sticks.Your dough would have not rised because of few things
Your yeast is old
The water is too hot
You added too much flour, salt or sugar.Hope this helps.

Made this yesterday. It turned out so good that it was gone in 60 seconds ?.
bhavana says
Yay, that's awesome !! We also made it yesterday & had many competing folks trying to finish it ?
Pankhuri says
Absolutely love this recipe. Have made it few times now and served to friends who have enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks a ton for sharing it.
Just wanted to ask you if I can feeeze it before baking and bake it later when i need to. Also, if so how long due to reckon it will stay fresh if frozen. Thanks in advance!
bhavana says
Hey Pankhuri,thanks for letting me know and glad your friends are liking it too..To be frank i have never tried freezing it.I have read articles where they freeze just the basic garlic bread dough after the bread rises(because of yeast) and when you are ready to use just thaw and add stuffings and cheese for garlic bread and bake.If you happened to try please share it with me.That would be very helpful.
