Italian Cheese Bread

This is a copycat recipe for italian cheese bread like they have at Little Caesar's.

1 loaf of bread dough (1 hour bread works great, use 1/4 of the recipe)
1 stick butter
1 TBS Italian dressing mix
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 c. shredded mozzarella

Melt 4 TBS butter and spread on bottom of a jelly roll pan (15" x 10" pan with 1" high edge). Roll out dough and put in pan on the butter. Melt 2 TBS butter and brush on top of the dough. Sprinkle the italian dressing seasonings and salt on top and cover with shredded cheese. Bake 400 degrees for about 12-18 minutes until done. Melt remaining 2 TBS butter and brush on top of cheese.

If you want to cut down on the fat a bit, you can reduce each step by 1 TBS butter. Or you can use 1/2 olive oil.
