Not all pies are filled with fruit filling as these garlic cheesy bread fried treats prove. These decadent foods take garlic bread to the next level with [gooey layers of cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-5cheese-crust-pizza) and deep frying the bread.

These homemade pies begin with pre-made seamless dough sheets that are covered in a layer of butter, oregano and crushed garlic. Then thick layers of mozzarella slices are placed on top along with another layer of dough. The dough is then cut into circles and pressed along the edges to form mini circle pies. The pies are deep fried till the cheese is perfectly melted. These mouthwatering savory pies are a gourmet take on garlic bread adding extra layers of gooey cheese, pastry dough and fresh garlic.
