IF YOU HAVE NO BREAD, EAT CAKE. If you have no bread, make some and spread lots and lots of cheese on it.
Let’s face it cheese is one of life’s greatest joys. Since we all aspire to enjoy life we try to make it as cheesy as possible.
And just like that we’ve unlocked the secret of happiness.
As simple as that.
Chances are you already have your favorite recipes picks of Cheese Cake, grill cheese, Mac n’ cheese and loaded cheesy fries. So let’s add one more cheesy recipe to your Pinterest Board.
This Cheese Bread is made of a fluffy and soft dough loaded with a generous layer of super easy, extremely simple and oh so delicious cheese dip recipe.
To make this recipe you only need to gather the ingredients in one bowl, mix and bake. And the best part is that you can use this recipe in so many ways like a dip in a dish and/or a savory pie filling.
What makes this dip SO DELICIOUS is Tillamook Cheddar cheese. Tillamook cheese is creamy, flavorful and above all it is made in the USA!
First time I tried Tillamook’s Cheese and AMAZING Ice cream (Strawberry is my fav!) was about a year ago when I visited Seattle. I figured it’s yet another exclusive West Coast product.
And just like their cheese this event was phenomenal.
Proudly dressed for the occasion, the Tillamook staff kindly and with a smile filled our minds and souls with the most amazing cheese dishes.
Chunks of Cheddar cheese paired with the right meat, cheesy tomato pie, cheese croquets, marinaded Colby Jack with bread crumbs and sardines, and SO MUCH MORE. This was truly one of a kind event.
Now Lets Talk About This Cheese Dip Bread Recipe:
THE CHEESE DIP
- Like mentioned above, to make the dip recipe, you will only need to mix the ingredients together. In order to avoid having any lumps use a hand mixer to smooth the cream cheese as first step.
- In addition, you can bake this dip in a ceramic dish until the top is golden and serve it warm with pita chips or crackers.
- This recipe is great to be used as a filling for tarts, fillo cups or even puff pastry. To do that, add 2 eggs to the recipe.
- Freeze what ever left overs you have in an air tight container up to 3 months.
THE DOUGH
- You can skip the dough part and just use your choice of a store bought bread. For example: Crusty Italian bread, baguette or French loaf.
- A standing mixer fitted with the dough hook can be used to bake this dough.
- This recipe yield 4 8″ pans 2 cookie sheet pans pr 3 8″x8″ pans.
- To minimize the dough from sprigging back during the assemble, let it rest for about 10-15 minutes after diving it.
- Please note that the dough will puff and rise and the cheese will melt and spread during baking. So make sure the baking pan’s edges are high enough to avoid any spilling.
- Place an empty cookie sheet lined with parchment paper under the bread pan to catch any spills during baking.
- This dough recipe is great for Pizza. Just spread some marinara sauce and sprinkle with Tillamook Mozzarella cheese.
HAPPY BAKING!!!

There’s something so comforting about cheese and bread. Yum! And it looks especially amazing with those baked tomatoes as well, although I don’t see a recipe for that.
