This homemade Stuffed Cheesy Garlic Bread recipe is a copycat version of Dominos Stuffed Garlic bread, which is a 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 on the Domino 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. You may also like my veg chili cheese toast.
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 the Garlic Bread Dough Recipe
Firstly, take (¼ cup +1 tablespoon) warm milk, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (I used Rapidrise yeast brand) in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
Rest for 10 minutes in a warm place (I generally like to keep it in the microwave or the oven). After 10 minutes, yeast is activated. (*You will start seeing tiny bubbles)
Furthermore, add 1 tablespoon oil, ½ tablespoon room temperature butter (optional), 1 cup maida (all-purpose flour), and salt to taste. Butter is optional here.
Then, add 4 minced garlic cloves, ¾ teaspoon dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon 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 smear some oil on 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 to proof the dough. Smear the inner pot with some oil and place the dough. Close the lid, select the 'YOGURT' button, set the pressure value to 'Sealing,' and set the timer to 1 hour.
After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size, then punch the dough.
For the Garlic Butter Recipe
Mix in 2Â tablespoons of melted butter, 3 garlic cloves (minced), and 1Â tablespoon coriander leaves (or parsley) in a small bowl. Keep it aside.
For the Stuffed Garlic Bread Recipe
Sprinkle some cornmeal (also known as "makki ka atta" in Hindi) on a flat surface to give the dough a crunchy outer coating. Then, roll the dough into a circle.
Note: Cornmeal is optional, but this is a secret ingredient used in Dominos to make garlic bread crust crispy.
Meanwhile, line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease it with butter. Place the rolled dough circle onto the tray and generously spread the garlic butter over it.
Further spread some mayonnaise (2 tablespoons), top with ¼ cup boiled sweet corn and ½ cup mozzarella cheese on one half of the circle.
Also, season with red chili flakes and oregano seasoning 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 dominos style 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, cream cheese, or sriracha mayo. Any soft drink or soda goes well with this.
Variations
- 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.
Tips 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.
