Here is another one of my all-time favorite recipes: stuffed cheese bread with our extra delicious topping which also serves as a dip at the same time.
You don’t need any yeast for the dough, so the cheese bread will be ready in around 30 minutes. This is the perfect meal idea for a quick dinner or lunch.

For the dough, you will only need 3 main ingredients: self-raising flour, yogurt, and a little dash of olive oil. You will also need to add a little bit of salt. Done!
This bread recipe is so quick, easy, and very tasty. Best of all, most likely you will have all the necessary ingredients in your pantry and/or fridge.
Here is another recipe with only 2 ingredients: 2 Ingredient White Dinner Rolls
I do like to rest the dough for 15 minutes. It also gives me enough time to prepare the cheese filling.
The cheese filling consists of three different types of cheese: Feta, Colby, and Mozzarella cheese. A fresh egg binds the cheese together, so it is ready to be spread onto the dough.
The dough needs to be rolled out with a rolling pin. The thickness of the dough is similar to a pizza.
By the way, the recipe makes two stuffed cheese breads so there is enough to go around for everyone. There might even be some leftovers for next day’s lunch.
Tips For Making Our Homemade Stuffed Cheese Bread
First: When you spread the cheese filling onto the dough, make sure to leave some space around the edges. Once you put the cheese filling on, grab the edges and fold them together going around in the circle.
Watch my video to check the technique out. It looks a bit fiddly to stretch out the dough but you will get the hang of it quickly.
Second: To make our stuffed cheese bread even more delicious, it is essential to brush the topping onto the cooked side of the bread while the other side is still cooking away in the large frying pan.
The topping is very simple yet absolutely delicious. Grated garlic, fresh aromatic parsley, chili flakes, and, of course, extra virgin olive oil.
Third: Serve the stuffed cheese bread with the delicious topping on the side. Essentially, the topping serves as a dip at the same time. Imagine dunking your bread into this garlicky, herb-infused delight – irresistible.
There are so many occasions you can serve this tasty cheese bread. Think of it as a snack for parties, a light lunch, or a nice dinner with a salad on the side.
You could even use it for a lazy Sunday brunch, maybe together with our Breakfast Casserole.
This bread stuffed with delicious cheese and a garlicky herb topping is just as versatile as our Spanish tortilla recipe.
