Cheese Stuffed Tear and Share Garlic Dough Balls

I am a sucker for garlic bread in any shape and form and this weekend I was definitely in a garlic bread mood.
I hadn't made my sticky ribs in a while and this was a perfect opportunity to enjoy it with some potato wedges, corn on the cob and some yummy garlic bread, and my recipe makes it a great get together food as well :))

Cheese stuffed Tear and Share Garlic Dough Balls

Pizza dough
250g strong white bread flour
5g fast action yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp garlic olive oil
150ml lukewarm water

1 pack of buffalo Mozzarella 

4 tbsp butter melted
1 large garlic clove

Make up the dough by adding the flour, yeast, salt and oil to a bowl. Add the water and mix to form a dough. 
Knead the dough on a floured work surface for around 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic

Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling film and leave to rest in a warm place for around an 1 1/2-2 hrs until doubled in size

Cut up the mozzarella into small pieces 1cm squared 

Melt the butter in a bowl and add the garlic and mix well 

Lightly butter an 8" round cake tin (loose bottom is best) 

Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly oiled worktop

Tear off small pieces and flatten it in your hand, place one or two pieces of the mozzarella into the centre of your flatten dough and then cover the cheese with the dough, by pinching the sides up into the centre and seal as best you can.

Using a pastry brush, brush over a little of the garlic butter all over the  dough ball and place in the cake tin.

Repeat this until all the dough has been used, don't pack the dough balls into too much as they will rise and join.

Cover with cling film and leave to rest until risen. I leave mine in the top oven while the bottom oven is heating up and it takes only about 20 minutes for the dough to rise again.

Pre heat the oven to 220/200c fan

Once risen sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese and pop in the oven for around 15-18 minutes until golden on top

Remove from the oven and remove from the pan and serve warm :))
