Garlic Bread with Mozzarella
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. Making garlic bread with mozzarella is not difficult at all, and the result will delight you! The bread turns out tender, airy, and very tasty! It can confidently be served with morning coffee or with the first hot dishes, as an alternative to store‑bought bread. For this recipe I used mozzarella, but you can use any other cheese; the main condition is that it melts well in the oven! I hope you like the recipe, give it a try. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 5
Knead the dough. You may need slightly more flour than the recipe states. The dough should end up fairly dense, but not overloaded with flour. Gather the dough into a ball and place it on a silicone mat. Put the mat on a baking sheet, cover the dough with a large bowl, and set it in a warm place for 20 minutes. I preheated the oven to 50 °C and placed the covered dough inside.
