Then spread the garlic mixture we've set aside and cover it with grated mozzarella cheese.Place another piece of dough over the cheese, fill it again and repeat this process until you've used up 4 pieces of dough.Transfer to a loaf pan greased with butter and flour.Repeat the process with the rest of the dough and transfer them all to the pan.Cover the loaf pan with a plastic bag and let it rest until the dough rises and fills up the whole pan, that will take about 20 to 30 minutes.Brush an egg yolk mixed with some milk all over it and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 40 minutes to 1 hour.Serve.
