Ingredients

  • 1 package (10 oz) of pre-made bread dough
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

How to Make Cheesy Bread Buns with Dipping Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a clean surface, roll out the pre-made bread dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log, then pinch the ends to seal.
  5. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, parsley, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the herb drizzle.
  7. Brush the herb mixture generously over each bread bun.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. While the buns are baking, warm the marinara sauce on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  10. Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the marinara sauce.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
  • Make sure to seal the ends of the dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
  • Allow the buns to cool for a few minutes before serving to help the cheese set slightly.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the cheddar for a blend of Italian cheeses for a more gourmet flavor.
  • Add cooked bacon or jalapeños inside the buns for an extra kick.
  • Substitute the marinara sauce with ranch dressing or a spicy aioli for dipping.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh garden salad for a light accompaniment.
  • Roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • A charcuterie board for a more elaborate spread.
  • A side of garlic knots for more cheesy goodness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cheesy bread buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their fluffy texture and melty cheese.
