4. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30–45 minutes.

2. Make the Dough
1. Warm the milk (warm, not hot).
2. Add the yeast and sugar, stir, and let sit 15–20 minutes until foamy.

4. Shape the Bread
1. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
2. Roll each portion into a long log.
3. Cut each log into small pieces (about 25–30 pieces total).
4. Flatten each piece slightly, place a cube of mozzarella inside, and seal into a ball.
5. Toss the dough balls in the garlic butter mixture until well coated.
6. Arrange the balls in a buttered or parchment-lined 5×9 inch loaf pan.
