I still remember the first time I tasted Domino’s Garlic Bread. It was love at first bite. That crispy golden interior made way to a soft, buttery inside infused with that irresistible garlic flavor.
Since then, it has become a staple takeout order, often disappearing from the box before pizza even had a chance. But one Sunday evening, having no work at hand, an idea struck me. Why not try making this delicious Domino’s garlic bread myself?
Filled with enthusiasm, I set out on a culinary journey to make this masterpiece. As soon as I set foot in the kitchen, thoughts of the buttery, garlicky goodness, perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, took over my mind.
As I started the process, my kitchen filled with an aroma of garlic. Then came the final moment when I tasted the first bite of my creation. My heart skipped a beat! Each piece was generously topped with a blend of garlic and herbs, giving it an irresistible flavor.Â
Most importantly, the bread was toasted to perfection, providing a satisfying crunch in every bite. That was when I knew I had to share this recipe with you. So join me on the journey of bringing this iconic favorite to life in none other than your very own kitchen.
Equipments Required
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl: This is where the magic happens. You will need a mixing bowl to combine all your ingredients.
- A Wooden Spoon Or Spatula: I recommend keeping a wooden spoon or a spatula handy to mix all the ingredients.
- Cutting Board Or Pastry Mat: A large cutting board or pastry mat will best knead the dough.
- Rolling Pin: I advise using a rolling pin to roll the dough.
- Baking Sheet Or Pizza Stone: I prefer using a pizza stone because it provides a crispy surface to my bread.
- Parchment Paper: You will require a parchment paper greased with oil to serve as the base of your bread.
- A Small Bowl: A small bowl is essential for mixing garlic and butter.
- Oven: An oven is a must-have for baking your delicious garlic bread to perfection.
Domino’s Garlic Bread Ingredients And Substitutions
Note: The ingredients mentioned below will help you serve four people. You can adjust the quantities of the ingredients if you want to serve more people.
- ¼ Cup Lukewarm Milk: If you run out of milk, you can use lukewarm water with powdered milk in it. You can also use non-dairy milk like almond or soy milk.Â
- ¾ Tablespoon SugarÂ
- 1 ½ Teaspoon Yeast (Dry, Active ): When I don’t find dry yeast, I use the same amount of instant or twice the amount of fresh yeast.
- 1 â…“ Cup All-Purpose Flour: You can also use bread flour or wheat flour mixed with a little all-purpose flour.
- 1 Teaspoon Salt: You can use any salt like sea, kosher, or Himalayan pink salt.
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Crushed: If you do not have garlic, you can go for garlic powder.
- 1 Tablespoon Oregano Seasoning: Whenever I run short of oregano, I either use any Italian seasoning or I mix dried basil and thyme to get the same flavour.
- 1 ½ Tablespoon Butter: You can go for margarine or any plant-based butter.
- ¼ Cup Water
For Coating
- 5- 6 Pods Garlic, Crushed Or Finely Chopped: Pre-mashed garlic or garlic powder works well.
- 3 Tablespoon Melted Butter: You can also use unsalted or plant-based butter. If you do not have one, you can always go for margarine.
- Maize Flour (As Needed): You can also use cornmeal or semolina.
For Spice Mixture
- 4 Tablespoon Oregano: I always mix dried thyme, basil, and marjoram together to use as a seasoning in place of oregano, if need be.
- 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper: White pepper can be used as a substitute. However, reduce the quantity by half as it is spicier.
- 1 Tablespoon Chilli Flakes: If you don’t have chili flakes, I recommend opting for crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper in place of them.
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Salt

How To Make Domino’s Garlic Bread At Home
- Take a bowl and add all-purpose flour, yeast, and sugar to it.
- Now, add lukewarm water to the flour and mix it to form a dough.
- Add oregano to the flour mixture.
- Now, knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it stops sticking to your hands and develops a soft texture. Fold the dough from the sides inwards towards the bottom and keep it in a bowl. Then, place it in a bowl, covered with wet cloth or cling film, and keep it in a warm place for 2 hours for proofing. This way, the dough will rise and double in size.
- After proofing the dough, take a baking tray and place the dough on it. Press it with your hand.
- Now, start rolling it with the help of a rolling pin.
- Mix the crushed garlic, melted butter, and maize flour and spread it on the rolled dough.
- At this point, you can choose to add some shredded cheese or leave it out completely.
- Fold the dough in a half-moon shape with soft hands.
- Then, coat the top with a mixture of oregano, black pepper, chili flakes, garlic powder, and salt. At this point, take a knife and make superficial cuts in the dough to make individual slices. However, keep in mind that the cut part is still attached to the dough.
- Once the cuts are done, preheat your oven to 260 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Now, place the bread in the oven and bake it at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- Your Domino’s garlic bread is ready to be enjoyed!
Expert Tips That I Recommend
- I advise you to knead the dough for 10 minutes straight to ensure smoothness and elasticity. This process helps develop the gluten properly, making the bread chewy.
- I am a cheese lover, so I spread a layer of mozzarella or parmesan cheese on top of my bread. This adds an extra layer of flavor to my garlic bread.
- Different ovens (conventional, convection) may require adjustments in baking time or temperature. Therefore, I recommend that you check the doneness of your bread properly and increase the baking time if necessary.
- I make sure to never open the oven door during the baking process as it affects the inside temperature and can leave the bread the uncooked.
- Baking recipes are all about getting the ingredient measurements right. Therefore, I double-check the quantities before making the dough.
- I prefer using fresh garlic instead of garlic powder as it provides a sweet, buttery flavor to my recipe.

Domino’s garlic bread recipe can be enjoyed by vegetarians. However, it is not suitable for people following a gluten free, vegan, keto, or dairy free diet.
Recipe Variations For Different Diets
- Vegan Diet: Whenever I serve this garlic bread to people following a vegan diet, I substitute regular milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk. I also look for vegan butter or margarine instead of normal butter.Â
- Gluten-Free: If you follow a gluten-free diet, I recommend using gluten-free flour, almond flour, or coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour and gluten-free cornmeal instead of maize flour. However, the texture of the bread will be different. Â
- Keto-Friendly: This recipe is not keto-friendly. Therefore, you can use inulin powder instead of normal sugar to activate yeast. Other than that, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour to make it keto-friendly.
- Dairy-Free: I tried making a dairy-free version of this recipe by using soy or almond milk in place of normal milk, and it turned out pretty well.
Storing And Reheating This Recipe
Storing
- Room Temperature: Whenever I plan to eat my garlic bread the same day, I wrap it in aluminum foil and store it in a cool, dry place.
- Fridge: If you want to store your garlic bread for about a week, wrap it in aluminum foil or put it in an airtight container in the fridge. This will prevent it from drying.
- Freezer: Whenever I wish to preserve my bread for a longer period of time, I simply place it in a freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer. This way, my bread stays good for up to three months.
Reheating
- Oven: I prefer reheating my garlic bread in the oven. I simply place it in the oven and switch to the toasting setting. This way my bread turns crisp and warm within 10 minutes.
- Stove Top: I find reheating my bread on the stovetop also pretty easy. I place the bread in a skillet, cover it with a lid, and heat it for 3-4 minutes on a medium flame. It makes the bottom crisp and keeps my bread warm at the same time.
- Grill: Whenever I want to give my bread a smoky flavor, I turn to my grill. All I do is preheat my grill at 350° F and wrap my bread with aluminum foil. Then, I place the bread on the grill and let it heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning it halfway to ensure that it is warmed evenly. After the butter has completely melted, it is ready to serve.
- Air fryer: I also find using an air fryer to reheat my garlic bread convenient. I preheat it to 350 degrees F and place the bread in the air fryer basket. I make sure that the bread is cut into smaller pieces to fit it perfectly inside the basket. Then, I arrange all the bread slices in a single layer and set a timer for 5-7 minutes.
What To Serve With Domino’s Garlic Bread
When I prepare this garlic bread, I love to pair it with spaghetti, lasagna, and creamy mushroom pasta. This serves as the best classic combo. But I also find a warm bowl of chicken soup and a slice of bread pure comfort.Â
When I want to enjoy this bread alone, I like to serve it with marinara sauce for dipping. This combo is a hit with my guests. You can also enjoy it with hummus dip or spinach and artichoke dip.Â
But if you are in the mood for a light meal, try this garlic bread with Caesar salad or tangy chipotle vinaigrette. For a more wholesome meal, serve your garlic bread as a side dish with your favourite pizza, grilled chicken steak, or barbecue ribs.
