Sprinkle 1 side of the square with 1/2 cup of the remaining mozzarella, then fold the dough in half to enclose the cheese, pressing to seal. Slice the dough crosswise at 1-inch intervals, stopping just before the folded edge. Sprinkle with half of the cheese-garlic mixture. Move the dough to 1 side of the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, mozzarella and cheese-garlic mixture on the other side of the baking sheet. Slide the bread on the parchment onto the hot baking sheet in the oven.

Spritz with water and sprinkle with grated cheese as well as garlic oil and pizza dough flavoring if you have chosen to use them. Starting with a long side, roll it into a log, pinching the seam to seal. Place the log seam side down on a lightly floured or lightly oiled surface. cover it and let it rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours till it's puffy though not doubled in bulk.

Place them on one (for 2 loaves) or 2 (for 4 mini loaves) lightly greased or parchment lined baking sheets, cut side up. Spread them open a bit, if necessary to more fully expose the cheese. Spritz them with warm water and immediately place in preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes for mini loaves or 35 minutes for full size loaves, or until the cheese is melted and the loaves are a very deep golden brown. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack.
