Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Take one piece of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a cheese cube in the center. Carefully gather the edges of the dough around the cheese and pinch them together to seal, forming a smooth ball. Repeat this process for all 16 pieces of dough.
