Toddler friendly cheesy bread

I probably have the world’s pickiest toddler(just joking but the moms will get me lol) I love making these for my son & makes me feel better knowing he has something in his belly other than just blueberries

You can make this with your regular homemade bread recipe or even the store bought pizza crust (just roll out it)
