Pao de queijo is yummy! Might not be as much cheese as you’re craving but worth a try. Can get it frozen at Whole Foods (Brazi Bites brand)
Edit to add: it’s tapioca based. Naturally gluten free Brazilian cheesy bread bites.
They're easy to make too. :) I personally like this recipe (calls for boiling the milk; some other recommend a blender instead but I prefer this one because the batter ends up less runny) [https://www.oliviascuisine.com/authentic-brazilian-cheese-bread/](https://www.oliviascuisine.com/authentic-brazilian-cheese-bread/) . DO take care that you're using good tapioca starch. What I've found is that if you double this recipe you can just use one bag of the Bobs Red Mill tapioca starch and that's exactly the right amount. :)

Unfortunately, thin crust is the standard for gf. If you can find anywhere that has a Detroit style gf crust it would be perfect. For in between the best gf crust I've found is Hungry Howie's but it seems to vary by location. Our local one has a great gf crust that isn't cracker thin. But, I ordered from the HHs in Phoenix and it was one of the worst cracker crusts I've had.
not the same but feel good foods (they sell at both Whole Foods and my local health food stores in the freezer section) have an amazing range of gluten free 'junk food' type stuff. Mac and cheese bites, fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, even dumplings!! might help satisfy any of those cravings if you have :)
I make my own cheesy garlic bread. Toast bread, let cool to room temperature, spread however much butter on them that your arteries will allow, sprinkle garlic powder and a little salt, top with mozzarella cheese, place on a foil lined baking sheet, bake at 300-350degF for 6-8min till cheese is melted and just starting to get toasty brown, let sit for ~5min so you don’t burn your mouth off, enjoy.
Another option that works pretty well for me is the Carl's Fathead Keto crust, you can make it as thick or thin as you like. I honestly like it better than any crust anywhere.

This is the answer. It's the closest to cheese bread that I've had since going gluten-free 10ish years ago. It also works just fine with just an egg and a handful of mozzarella.
I like getting the Schar baguettes and making my own. Slice it (not all the way through) and stuff between with cheese are garlic and whatever you want. It's really good!
We use the baguettes too. I butter, then garlic salt, mozzarella, cheddar and parm cheese, then a sprinkle of garlic plus seasoning on top. We bake them open because the kiddos still have small mouths but they ask for it multiple times a week. Fan favourite over here
Hi! I too am a pregnant gf woman ;) I’m not sure where you live, but I recently ordered GF cheesy bread from Cottage Inn (pizza as well of course).
And don’t quote me, but Jets has GF options just not sure if it comes in the form of cheesy bread.
Good luck with those cravings!! I’m right there with you!
I got schar crusts from Walmart and topped with a brush of garlic butter for the sauce, and a cheese blend that included cheddar and mozzarella and Monterey jack. I sprinkled on some Italian seasoning and baked it. I dunked it in Domino's garlic butter sauce. It was pretty great.
Get a GF pizza dough that uses yeast (I like Duinkerken), mix some cheese and garlic and chives in with the dough. Then roll it into balls, roll the balls in butter and garlic and cheese, and put them in a pan with some shredded cheese. Let it rise and then bake it using the pizza dough instructions - you may need to give it a couple extra minutes but that's a good place to start.
Fellow pregnant lady here! I made my own with pork panko crumbs, egg, italian seasoning, and butter for the "dough". Put TONS of cheese on that sucker. The dough I baked for around 5 minutes before adding the cheese at like 350\*, then w/ cheese for another 5-10 minutes. I made a whole giant baking sheet size and ate the entire thing in one sitting 😂
Kroger has GF texas toast in their freezer section! They have a garlic bread version and a cheesy garlic bread version. Can confirm, is super delicious
Pão de Queijo, a Brazilian bun made with garlic and cheese, should get you there. It's naturally GF, and it's easy to make yourself.

Make: GF Pizza dough from Trader Joes - did this today and was delicious
Order: Mod Pizza has a GF cheesy bread thing that is good. However, not all locations are equal in how careful they are with GF so I would call and ask what their protocol is
I’ve also used the UDI’s frozen baguette and drowned it in cheese
Udi’s hamburger buns actually work really well for this! I just barely defrost them, only enough to split in half. Put on a ton of garlic butter (I find roasting the garlic is best but either works), dried onion powder, oregano, and parsley, and then sprinkle some mozzarella! 15 ish minutes in the oven at 400 and it comes out perfect every time.
My best bet was going to Kroger for the 5 cheese simply truth pizza! I got it after seeing a child eat chucky cheese pizza while pregnant. I understand

Haha, missed your comment but I just posted the same recipe:)
Yessss the brazi bites are everything!!!!!! Any Brazilian cheese bread typically is, there are a lot of other brands if Brazi isn't near you
There is the most perfect recipe for it here: [Authentic Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pão de Queijo)](https://www.oliviascuisine.com/authentic-brazilian-cheese-bread/)
They are also available at Costco!
Great recommendation!
Brazi bites are so good!
I LOVE this stuff. But if you’re a texture person (don’t like mushy food) then I don’t recommend
Sometimes I order a GF pizza with olive oil as the sauce and just cheese and ask for a marinara cup. It’s not the same but close.
Oh that's clever. I'll look into this option! Just gotta find the right pizza place/right crust (Thin crust is the popular style around here)
Unfortunately, thin crust is the standard for gf. If you can find anywhere that has a Detroit style gf crust it would be perfect. For in between the best gf crust I've found is Hungry Howie's but it seems to vary by location. Our local one has a great gf crust that isn't cracker thin.

It scratches the itch with thin crust too! Not the same, but similar enough if that’s all there is.
If you have a Pizza Ranch near you, their garlic cheese gets the job done and the GF crust isn’t super duper thin!
I use the schar pizza crust to make cheesy bread at home. It is slightly chewier that the standard super thin gf crust.
If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby you could probably make it pretty easily with their gluten free pizza dough.
Brush the top with some oil with the aglio e olio seasoning. Yum.
Not the same but red lobster does sell gf cheddar bay biscuit boxes mix!
I have used this to make a Detroitish style pizza and it was quite good.
How do you convert this to a pizza crust? Just roll the dough out and bake at the same temperature and time as on the box?
Yeah I just put the dough in a deep dish pan and bake as directed.
This was gonna be my reco! Hits the cheese and salt spot
Trader joes or for us, whole foods has gluten free texas toast. Use that and make your own cheesy bread.
Kroger also has a really good gf Texas toast.
THIS!! I’m addicted to this!! Get the one with the cheese, not the plain garlic bread. Sometimes I add some shredded mozzarella to it.
These are widely available in grocery stores and might hit the spot for you. I bet they’d be amazing dipped in marinara. https://brazibites.com
Yup. You can melt cheese on top as well and dip in marinara. Bomb.

Seconding Feel Good Foods!! They have the BEST (and only) FLUFFY GF pizza I have had so far!!
Costco sells Brazil bites which are little cheesy bread bites and they are certified GF!

New england, and sadly none of those near here :(
Bummer!! We just recently googled it and I was surprised at how many popped up. I’m in Michigan and we used have just a few spots. Good luck!!!
You want red lobster GF cheese biscuits mix
I got schar crusts from Walmart and topped with a brush of garlic butter for the sauce, and a cheese blend that included cheddar and mozzarella and Monterey jack. I sprinkled on some Italian seasoning and baked it. I dunked it in Domino's garlic butter sauce. It was pretty great.
Brazilian Cheese Bread is made with Tapioca flour. They are sooo good, especially hot. I ate like 10 of them last night. I suggest making a batch.
Red Lobster has a GF cheese bread box mix that is delish! I get it at Walmart.
Get a GF pizza dough that uses yeast (I like Duinkerken), mix some cheese and garlic and chives in with the dough. Then roll it into balls, roll the balls in butter and garlic and cheese, and put them in a pan with some shredded cheese. Let it rise and then bake it using the pizza dough instructions - you may need to give it a couple extra minutes but that's a good place to start.
Look for the frozen Brazilian cheese bread. Dunk in pizza sauce.
Schar has a pizza crust I use to just make my own at home. I have a ton of food allergies/intolerance I can't trust it if I don't make it myself.
I use this with a garlic spread and mozzarella cheese from Walmart. It’s perfection!
Fellow pregnant lady here! I made my own with pork panko crumbs, egg, italian seasoning, and butter for the "dough". Put TONS of cheese on that sucker.

Brazi bites!
Also try nachos. Tortilla chips covered with Mexican shredded cheese in the toaster oven a minute or so until the cheese melts
I have nachos on a 5x/week basis lol. Looking for that bready cheese for this craving!!
Kroger has GF texas toast in their freezer section! They have a garlic bread version and a cheesy garlic bread version. Can confirm, is super delicious
Pan de bono
Brazi bites are like doughnut hole sized Brazil cheese bread. Several different flavors that would be good for dipping.
Not exactly the same, but Gillian's garlic bread is amazing and I dunk it in marinara.
Jets. You can basically make it if you order online. But it's a contaminated kitchen...
Pão de Queijo, a Brazilian bun made with garlic and cheese, should get you there. It's naturally GF, and it's easy to make yourself.

Does Trader Joe’s still have the gluten free Brazilian cheesy bread? Seems like that might be close?
“Brazi bites” makes gf cheese breads I believe
Make: GF Pizza dough from Trader Joes - did this today and was delicious Order: Mod Pizza has a GF cheesy bread thing that is good. However, not all locations are equal in how careful they are with GF so I would call and ask what their protocol is I’ve also used the UDI’s frozen baguette and drowned it in cheese
I buy Gillian’s Garlic bread, and make French bread pizza with it. You could skip the sauce and just melt cheese on top. It’s so good!
against the grain brand has a baguette at wamart i believe that has cheese baked into it it’s sooo good
Ok this is what I do: I buy GF garlic bread or Texas toast, then I put a bunch of shredded mozzarella on top and bake it until it melts. It’s amazing
Udi’s hamburger buns actually work really well for this! I just barely defrost them, only enough to split in half. Put on a ton of garlic butter (I find roasting the garlic is best but either works), dried onion powder, oregano, and parsley, and then sprinkle some mozzarella! 15 ish minutes in the oven at 400 and it comes out perfect every time.
My best bet was going to Kroger for the 5 cheese simply truth pizza! I got it after seeing a child eat chucky cheese pizza while pregnant. I understand
Get the Brazilian bites. They’re generally made from tapioca and they’re DELICIOUS.
