For the bread:
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment add the yeast & milk. Let stand for 5 minutes to activate.
Add the butter, sugar, salt, garlic powder & flour. With the mixer on low speed, knead until a smooth & elastic dough comes together. Cover & let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin rectangle & coat with a thin layer of the filling. Add a tablespoon of cheese & fold in half to secure the filling.
Transfer to a greased loaf pan & repeat with remaining pieces. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350(f) degrees until golden & cooked throughout, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Let cool slightly before removing & serving.
