  • That's right, you can make your very own fresh mozzarella cheese at home and all you need is 4 ingredients (if you don't count water as an ingredient) and 30 minutes. That's how easy it is. Think of all of the amazing caprese salads and delicious loaves of cheese laden breads await you after making this. Think of it as a recipe for many recipes. These are all good things.

    I needed to write this down for my own use and thought I'd leave the recipe here:
    Fresh Mozzarella
    1 gallon (3.7l) whole milk (NOT ultra-pasteurized)
    1.5 teaspoons (8g) citric acid + 1 cup (250ml) water
    1/2 teaspoon (3g) liquid rennet + 1/4 cup (60ml) water
    1 tablespoon (8g) kosher salt
    1. Make Citric Acid/Water Mixture
    2. Mix Rennet/Water mixture
    3. Mix milk/citric acid in a large pot, stirring vigorously until completely incorporated
    4. Heat milk / Citric Acid mixture on medium low heat stirring occasionally until mixture reads 90 degrees Fahrenheit
    5. Immediately remove milk from heat and, while stirring, incorporate rennet mixture. Once you start mixing start timer for 25 seconds and continue stirring until timer goes off.
    6. Add lid and let rest for 5 minutes.
    7. If solid curd has formed cube curd with knife (crosshatch pattern). If no curd let rest until curd has formed.
    8. Heat slowly, gently stirring on occasion, until mixture reaches 130 degrees F.
    9. Remove from heat at let stand for 5 minutes.
    10. Remove curds with slotted spoon into a strainer. Reserve whey.
    11. After 15 seconds of draining pick up curds and gently squeeze out excess whey.
    12. Now it’s time to season/temper
    a. Add salt to reserved whey and stir to combine
    b. Place drained curd into a bowl
    c. Heat up seasoned whey to 180 degrees Fahrenheit
    d. Pour over curd and let stand 15-20 seconds
    13. Now it’s time to fold/shape
    a. Stretch curd and fold 4-6 times until homogenous.
    b. Ball out portions
    c. Place balls into room-temperature whey
    d. Serve within 3-4 hours or wrap in plastic and freeze/refrigerate.

  • @kristianmikkelsen5749
    @kristianmikkelsen5749 2 роки тому +46

    When you squeeze excess whey out of the curds, don't squeeze them too much, or you'll arrive at provola rather than mozzarella.

    Just made this! You have the BEST tutorials!
    Ordered the rennet on Amazon, but forgot to buy some citric acid, so I replaced some of the water with lemon juice. I hope it still turns out okay!
    Update: can’t believe I made cheese! This was fun! I did make a couple mistakes though.
    1. If you want a soft, moist cheese, do not squeeze out all of the whey when you strain it. It’ll result in a harder, dryer cheese.
    2. If you’re going to halve the recipe like I did, do not halve the salt. I only had a half gallon of milk, therefore I halved the entire recipe. I used only half the amount of salt in the whey bath and my cheese definitely lacked flavor. Next time, I’ll use the full amount

    Omg it actually worked! I've just finished making it, and I can tell you making this cheese was an emotional rollercoaster, I went into it expecting it wouldn't work then went it first started forming the curd on the top I thought wow maybe this is actually gonna work, then once I strained it out I thought on no this is going to turn out like cottage cheese (like I'd heard a lot of other comments say) and even when I was trying to squeeze it and shape it still seems like cottage cheese but then I just squeezed as much liquid out as I could and pushed it together and it actually started to look like yours. Thank you for this amazing recipe if I wasn't already subscribed I'd subscribe again (I also tried your loaf of bread and it worked really well too)

I may have squeezed too much of the whey out, because it was a little firm. I also may add more salt to the whey... I just salted it pretty heavily after I cut it in slices.

      It's easy to get citric acid almost anywhere, my dude. You should be able to find it in your local store, assuming you live in a fairly developed country.
      Even Rennet is easy to find in developed countries, although it can be a bit tricky to get a hold of in places that enforce halal and kosher tradition, because it's enzymes extracted from animal stomach juices, meaning the animal has to be slaughtered according to said tradition.

    This is by far the best recipe I found for making mozzarella!
    Just follow each step to the letter.
    I experimented with half gallon 2 litres of fresh buffalo milk instead. Yields approx 180gm of cheese. I used tablet rennet instead of liquid.
    Tried with cow's milk as well. Wasted the whole batch.
    Here are few things I observed..
    There will be a slight variation in how the milk curdles depending on the quality and fat percentage of milk.
    Also, after the cheese forms a lump, the more times you stretch it and keep it dipped in hot water, the more harder and dry it will get. The moment you feel its getting a bit tight while stretching, that's when you remove it from the water and form a ball. It has to have certain amount of liquid in it to remain soft and easily tearable afterwards.
    Else it turns into a rock!

      Lol Right? I was thinking the same, how do you get it if raw milk is outlawed in the USA? Lol we're pretty mutch stuck with the types of milk that he advised against for cheese making. I've tried with regular whole grocery store milk just now and got like 1/100 part of a curd ratio out of a whole gallon.
