I've never made this with a stand mixer, I love working using my hands. But this shouldn't be the reason why this didn't work. You can use all purpose flour or bread flour, it works as well. In the fridge it does not necessarily double in size, and the parmesan should have worked very well. Don't know about mozzarella, never tried with it. You must be careful not to add more liquid than required in the recipe, and if you did you just had to add more flour to be a dough easy to work with. I think was just a matter of quantities in your case, you might have needed more flour. Let me know if you give this another try, they worth it. You can try shredded Cheddar Cheese, it should work fine with this too.
I am very glad these worked the second time. It is a dough easy to work with, if you want you can add more cheese in the dough, you can adjust the dough after your own tastes. Be careful with the cheese balls, for the type of cheese you choose. They are tricky, it must be a cheese with a high melting point, like halloumi is.
