Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

¾ cup cool water, divided
1/4 teaspoon liquid rennet
1 ½ teaspoons citric acid
1 gallon raw milk
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup water and rennet in a small bowl; mix well.
  • Combine remaining 1/2 cup water and citric acid in another small bowl; mix until dissolved.
  • Pour milk into a large pot set over medium heat. Stir in water-citric acid mixture. Heat milk, stirring occasionally, until it registers 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove milk from heat and stir in rennet mixture in a figure-8 motion for 30 seconds. Stir counterclockwise for 30 seconds to still the milk. Let stand, covered, until milk sets into curd, 5 to 10 minutes. Press edge of the curd gently with a palette knife or the back of a spoon to check for firmness.
  • Slice vertically into the pot to cut curd into 3/4-inch cubes with a palette knife. Stir curds gently, but leave cubes mostly intact.
  • Return pot to the heat; cook over medium heat, stirring curds gently, until temperature reaches 109 degrees F (43 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Ladle curds into a colander set over a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Press curds gently to extract liquid whey. Pour drained whey back into the pot.
  • Heat whey to 185 degrees F (85 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Wearing gloves, tear off a piece of curd and place on a slotted spoon. Dip curd into hot whey for 5 to 10 seconds. Stretch, fold, and knead the curd. Repeat until mozzarella is smooth and elastic. Knead in salt and form curd into a ball. Repeat dipping and kneading process with remaining curd.
  • Allow mozzarella to cool. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator.

HOMEMADE MOZZARELLA CHEESE



Homemade mozzarella cheese image

Make mozzarella in your own kitchen with some special equipment and patience! Shape into balls and use in your favourite salads, to top pizzas, and more.

Provided by Nicolò Calogero

Time 3h35m

Yield Makes 2-3 balls

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 litres whole milk
150ml natural whole yogurt
3ml vegetarian rennet (just over ½ tsp - see tip below)

Steps:

  • Pour the milk into a large deep pan and set over a low heat until it reaches 38C on a thermometer. Remove from the heat, add the yogurt, mix well, then cover with a lid and leave for 25 mins.
  • Add the rennet, stirring very gently, then cover again and leave for another 15-20 mins.
  • Remove the lid and check if the curds have coagulated and separated from the whey. Use a large whisk or a knife to break up the curds very gently to create pieces around the size of a hazelnut.
  • Heat a larger pan half-full with water over a gentle heat to 40C. Put the pan containing the curds into the larger pan to create a bain-marie and check the water temperature frequently to ensure it stays at around 40C. Top up the water from time to time if needed.
  • After 2 hrs 30 mins, remove the curds from the pan using a slotted spoon and leave to drain in a colander for about 15 mins. Cut the curds into small pieces and put in a large heatproof bowl.
  • Empty the pan of water, then refill and heat to 85C. Pour the hot water over the curds and mix with a wooden spoon for 30-40 seconds. Strain off almost all the water and again, add water at 85C to cover.
  • Fold and stretch the curd in the water using the wooden spoon. Keep working until the curds start to become elastic. Now work the curds by folding and stretching by hand (the water will be hot so wear rubber gloves) until they become smooth and elastic.
  • Take smaller pieces of the curd and shape into balls. Immediately put in a tub of cold water and chill in the fridge. Can be kept in water, covered, and chilled for up to a week.
