Making mozzarella cheese at home has many benefits besides the final product. Making something from scratch, tasting fresh cheeses, and showing your loved ones what you’ve made are all part of this special experience. Enjoy the taste of fresh mozzarella whenever you want with this simple recipe.
Get everything you need
Pack the following items before you move:
Half a kilo of whole milk, preferably as fresh as possible.
one and a half teaspoons orange juice
1 and 1/4 teaspoons water rennet
one teaspoon kosher salt, or more or less to preference
one and a half cups water
Making mozzarella cheese
Now that we know what to do, let’s get started. To start:
The milk should be prepared by first dissolving the citric acid in half a glass of water, then adding the milk to a large saucepan. Bring the milk to 32°C by stirring gently over medium heat.
Add the rennet: In a separate measuring cup, dissolve the liquid rennet in the remaining cup of water. Then pour it into the milk. After boiling for 30 seconds, let the milk cool for 5 minutes. Curdling the milk will show you.
After the milk has cooled, the milk is cut into pieces in the form of a grid with a knife.
Prepare the milk: Stir gently while heating to 105°F or 40°C. You will see this process when the milk starts to thicken and separate from the curds.
Prepare the mozzarella: Pour the curd into a bowl with a slotted spoon. To make a soft and smooth mozzarella ball, turn off the milk and let it sit until it is sprinkled with kosher salt.
Place fresh mozzarella in a bowl of cold water to keep it cool and dry.
Do your job
Great job! At this point you can taste your mozzarella. Slicing it over a fresh tomato and basil salad, melting it on pizza, or eating it plain with salt and olive oil are great ways to spice up your trip. Making cheese at home has many benefits, including a sense of accomplishment and a personal touch that’s hard to find with store-bought cheese. Strap on a fork and get ready to whip up some homemade mozzarella
