Waaaay better than a boring old sandwich, these melty, hot stuffed petit pains are a thing of beauty!
Bread is a wonderful thing – be it sweet toasties, beautiful brioche or artisan bread rolls (ok, maybe sandwiches aren’t that boring). You just can’t beat bread for a quick lunch.
And the good thing about these stuffed breads, is they're made from par-baked rolls - the ones in the vacuum packed bags, that last for ages.
They're a great store-cupboard essential, so you can have warm, crusty fresh tasting bread any time.

These are a steal. What's not to love about them - less carbs, but still bready and ready so quickly. Perfect comfort food.
Danielle says
OMG this sounds delicious! And I love the word carbiness. I have made up so many food descriptive words...LOL. This kind reminds me of mushroom toast, which I absolutely LOVE!
Allison Mattina says
That is so much quicker to make than I thought! It looks too good to be that quick. Love it!
karyld2016 says
I thought it was sausage in there at first! But mushrooms sound amazing as well. And let's be honest...carbs are divine!! I can easily justify any carb I stuff into my mouth.
Stephen says
I think even I could master this - I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. I think I'll throw in some crispy bacon and maybe a touch of chicken. Stephen

Hey Nicky!! These creamy garlic mushroom bread have been an absolute hit! It's a major evil bomb which no one can resist. hats off to you for this amazing recipe. It's actually your first recipe which I tried & it's been perfect. I also added chicken & capsicum in it. I'm definitely going going to be following more of your recipes..
pamela says
Everything looks so yummy.
Ginger Rohloff says
Could these be prepared, not cooked, and then frozen for later use?
Nicky Corbishley says
Hi Ginger,
I haven't tried freezing ahead, but I'm not confident they'd hold up to freezing. I think the liquid in the sour cream and mayo might separate when defrosting - which would make the bread go soggy.
Gail Plaskiewicz says
How could I make this without the cream cheese, sour cream or mayo? Do I need to have those because I don't like any of them. I'm thinking of just using more shredded cheese, maybe 2 different kinds, chicken or sausage, maybe a cheese sauce and some veggies like carrots? I like this idea though. I would probably use the inside of the bread for bread crumbs or cubes. This looks yummy!
Nicky Corbishley says
Hi Gail,
Essentially this is a stuffed bread recipe filled with a baked cheesy dip, so you really need the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo to get that creamy, cheesy quality. I think just using cheese and meat/veg would make the bread very dry. Using a thick cheese sauce may work ok though. Hope it works out for you 🙂

You are evil with your delicious carbiness plans! I love the sound of these, and wouldn't they make a great appetiser for a casual dinner gathering if you used the mini rolls! I love stuffed things, and I cannot wait to make these, oh and I can't wait to see your sweet version 🙂
Nicky Corbishley says
Thanks Amy 🙂
By the way, I tried that gluten free delicious alchemy bread mix. Really good! Quite a thick crust (I brushed the hot crust with some melted butter to soften it a little), but the inside was fluffy and springy. Personally i'd add a 1/4 tsp of salt next time for extra flavour, but we all really enjoyed it.

Another amazing recipe Nicky! Love everything in these sandwiches.

Thanks Julie 🙂
Matt @ Plating Pixels says
Who cares about calories when you can eat something as fun and creative as this. Hats of to you, love this! I recently made pizza topped bread slices but this is so much better. Pinned and will definitely try!
Nicky Corbishley says
Pizza topped bread sounds awesome to me. I bet the kids would love that in their packed lunch rather than their usual sandwiches! Hope you enjoy Matt 🙂
