🧄 Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes one loaf, about 8 servings)
For the garlic butter spread:
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
-
4-5 cloves garlic, minced (or 1½ tsp garlic powder)
-
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (or 1 tbsp dried parsley)
-
½ tsp dried oregano
-
¼ tsp salt
-
A pinch of black pepper
For the bread:
-
1 large French bread loaf or Italian bread loaf (about 12-14 inches long)
-
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional, but highly recommended!)
-
Grated Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mash and stir until it’s smooth, fragrant, and fully combined. If you have time, let it sit for 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
Tip: For an extra-restaurant taste, add a tiny pinch of garlic salt or a dash of onion powder.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice your French loaf in half lengthwise, like a submarine sandwich. Place both halves cut-side-up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: Butter It Up!
Spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread. Make sure you cover every inch—edges included!
Step 4: Add Cheese (The Secret Step!)
If you’re using mozzarella, sprinkle it evenly over the buttered bread. A little Parmesan on top adds that authentic Domino’s finish.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden and crisp.
Pro tip: For extra crunch, broil for the last 1–2 minutes—but watch it closely!
Step 6: Slice and Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute or two, then slice into diagonal pieces. Serve warm and watch it disappear!
