HOmemade mozzarella

How to make fresh homemade mozzarella…kinda!

 
 
 
 

WHAT YOU NEED
1 gallon of milk (local, raw or pasteurized. NOT ultra pasteurized)
Ricki’s Homemade Mozzarella and Ricotta Kit

INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the instructions in the kit. Note what I learned below so you don’t have to.

  • Fresh mozzarella is a delicate process! Every step requires a gentle and gradual approach: heat up and stir slowly! DO NOT STIRR VIGOROUSLY!

  • When pouring in the rennet, you only have 20-30 seconds to stir before the giant curd starts to form. I stirred for an extra minute, disrupting the process and preventing the cheese from becoming as stretchy.

  • Do NOT use Ultra Pasteurized milk! Use Local, Raw or Pasteurized.

  • Maybe don’t do the microwave method?!

  • Pairs nicely with Dunkin’ iced coffee  

Good luck!!

Love,
Colie
