How to Make Firecracker Cheese Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Roll out pizza dough into a 14x5 inch rectangle.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of your favorite chili flakes evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Top with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred Mexican blend), again leaving a 1/2 inch border.
  5. Fold up the long sides of the dough to meet in the middle, forming a roll. Pinch the edges firmly to seal.
  6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder evenly over the top of the roll.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
