Make the dough. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the oil and mix well. Add the water and knead into a smooth ball, about 6-8 minutes in a stand mixer. This will take a little bit longer by hand.

Cover the dough and allow it to rise until doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, cut it into quarters. Cut each quarter into 8 equal pieces. You should have 32 pieces in total.

Flatten each dough ball and add a piece of cheese inside. Gather the stems and twist them to close the dough ball. Roll the dough ball on the counter with a cupped hand to smooth and round it out. Set aside and repeat with all of the dough and cheese.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Start arranging the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. The bottom row should have 7 balls. Center all of the rows of dough balls. Continue with rows using 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and then 1 dough ball. You'll have a large triangle of dough balls plus 4 extra. I arrange these at the bottom i a square to act as a tree trunk.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
