This Easy Garlic Cheese Bread recipe combines the simplicity of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to create a quick, soft dough topped with buttery garlic, herbs, and melted cheese. Perfect as a snack or side, it bakes in just 25 minutes and delivers a deliciously cheesy, garlicky treat that’s crisp on the outside and tender inside.

Ingredients

Dough:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt

Toppings:

  • 1 tablespoon softened butter
  • 1-2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  • 1-2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (such as herbs de Provence)
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or a blend recommended)
  • Salt to taste (optional, kosher salt suggested)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven. Set your oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bread to a golden crisp.
  2. Prepare the Dough. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the self-rising flour and plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms, using your hands if necessary to fully incorporate all the flour. This dough should be soft but workable.
  3. Shape the Dough. Line a large baking sheet with a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper and lightly grease it. Using your hands, press the dough out evenly on the sheet until it’s about 1/4 inch thick, creating a flat rectangle shape.
  4. Add Butter and Seasonings. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough. Then sprinkle it with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic and dried Italian herbs. This initial layer of seasoning infuses the bread base with flavor.
  5. Add Cheese and Final Seasoning. Generously top the dough with 1 to 2 cups of shredded cheese of your choice. After that, sprinkle another round of granulated garlic and dried herbs over the cheese. Optionally, add a light sprinkle of kosher salt on top to enhance the flavors further.
  6. Bake the Bread. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, and the edges of the bread are golden.
  7. Cool and Serve. Remove the garlic cheese bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Cut into rectangles and serve warm. For an extra treat, serve alongside marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Use self-rising flour for easy dough without the need for added leavening agents.
  • Plain non-fat Greek yogurt helps create a tender crumb and adds moisture.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese blend, mozzarella, cheddar, or parmesan work well.
  • Adjust garlic and herb quantities based on your taste preferences.
  • Serving with marinara or ranch dip enhances the flavor experience.
  • This bread is best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispness.
