Step Four: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Add dough Nuggets to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set cook time for 5-6 minutes, turning halfway through.

Step Five: In a small mixing bowl, combine parmesan cheese and garlic salt.

Step Five: Remove dough Nuggets from the air fryer and toss them with the parmesan cheese. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Copycat Domino’s Garlic Bread Bites Recipe Tips

• Use refrigerated pizza dough for the closest texture to the real deal.
• Cut dough pieces evenly so they cook at the same speed.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket or baking pan, or they’ll steam instead of crisp.
• Brush with garlic butter as soon as they come out of the air fryer to soak in that flavor.
• Sprinkle parmesan right after buttering so it sticks instead of sliding off.
• Cook in batches if needed — patience here pays off in crispy edges.
• Add a pinch of Italian seasoning if you want extra pizza shop vibes.

Storing Instructions

Let the garlic bread bites cool completely before storing. Place leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to bring back the crisp edges and soft centers. Avoid the microwave unless you like sad, chewy bread.

Copycat Domino’s Garlic Bread Bites Recipe Faqs 

Why didn’t my bread bites puff up? If you are using refrigerated canned dough, ensure it is fresh and not expired.

Can I bake these in a conventional oven? Yes. Place the dough nuggets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F, for approximately 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown.

What kind of dough works best? Refrigerated canned pizza dough (like Pillsbury brand) or canned biscuits/crescent rolls cut into pieces are the quickest options. You can also use scratch-made pizza dough.

Can I use Parmesan powder instead of grated? It is better to use grated Parmesan cheese as it melts slightly better and gives the authentic texture. Powdered Parmesan often clumps when mixed with the hot butter.

What are the best dipping sauces? These are excellent dipped in marinara sauce, pizza sauce, ranch dressing, or even a creamy Alfredo sauce.
