    Ensure milk is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast. Lukewarm is best.

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

    Kneading develops the gluten, crucial for a soft texture. A warm, draft-free spot helps the dough rise faster.

    Once risen, gently punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into 12-16 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a small disc, place a spoonful of shredded mozzarella in the center, and seal the edges tightly to form a ball. Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
