Directions
- 1Whisk milk, water, sugar, and yeast together in a bowl.

- 3Use a spatula to fold the dough over itself 10-20 times until it comes together and looks softer.
- 4Cover and rest for 1 hour.
- 5Mix passata, tomato paste, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the filling.
- 6With a floured hand, pull away the edges of the dough and place on a well-floured surface.
- 7Cut the dough into 12 pieces.
- 8Flip a piece over, add pizza sauce and cheese only to the middle, then pinch and squeeze to seal shut.
- 9Flip seam side down and gently roll into a baguette shape.

Tips
- If you have a mixer, you can use it for the dough instead of folding by hand.
- Add sauce and cheese only to the middle of the dough pieces so the edges can stick together properly when sealing.
- I like to spread a bit of oil on the parchment paper.
- If freezing, once cooled on a rack, place the rack in the freezer for 1-2 hours until they are hard before wrapping.
- Keep an eye on them while baking from frozen.
