mozzarella

: you can make it with store-bought milk, you can't make it with ultra-pasteurized milk, so check the label. pasteurized is fine. Pasteurization is the process by which they apply heat for a certain amount of time to kill enzymes and bacteria, etc., that might be in the note. The problem is to make cheese, you need enzymes, you don't want dead milk and pasteurized milk, it doesn't heat it up as much, so there is still enough left. intact proteins and enough life enzymes to make the cheese ultra pasteurized it raises the temperature and kills the milk, there is nothing living in it, you can't use it and it destroys the protein structure so the milk doesn't coagulate properly, so make sure it doesn't say ultra pasteurized you need something from the freezer section nothing from the shelf is better if you could find something that isn't homogenized now i have made this work with homogenized milk because modernized milk is becoming more and more According to the standard, it is It's getting pretty difficult to find milk that isn't homogenized, so I'll show you how to do it.

I'm going to show you how to make this work. To make homemade mozzarella cheese you will need a good thermometer because the trick to turning milk into cheese is watching the temperatures.
It is very important that you have exact temperatures, so get a good thermometer that can help you. keep an eye on those temperatures you need a measuring cup you're going to need distilled water you're going to need water that doesn't have Corinne in it because what's the purpose of chlorine in water is to kill the enzymes and we need them alive so do it Make sure you don't use chlorinated water. I used to steal water. It works very well. You can also use a stainless steel pot. A stainless steel strainer. So let's go ahead and get started.
I'll show you how to make homemade mozzarella and a boom in your kitchen. in less than 35 40

minutes

at most let's see how it works, okay, we'll take our citric acid, you'll need a teaspoon and a half, but citric acid dissolved in 1/4 cup of pool water without coordinating and authority, let's mix. there, make sure it's nice and well mixed. In our stainless steel pot, we will put 1 gallon of milk. This milk should be 55 degrees, which is typically the temperature at which it will come straight from the refrigerator. To make sure our citric acid is stirred well, we want our milk to be 55 degrees.
We will need to add the 55 degree citric acid solution. That's the temperature it should come straight out of the refrigerator. I'm going to mix this in a larger spoon, you're also going to need a spoon that has holes in it, so we're going to mix this in and stir it slowly and at this point we're going to turn the heat on and turn it up slowly. at 90 degrees okay you need to stir this gently and watch your temperatures closely because at 90 degrees we're going to need to add to it and we have some time because it's still slightly above 60 so just keep stirring and watching your temperatures so we want to put 1/4 cup in again and this is your rennet tablet, the junkit rennet tablet will be able to be divided into four, we want to break it in half, okay, we're going to want to add half to the water and make sure it's completely dissolved; the other half, if you are using homogenized milk you want to keep about 1/4 of that on the side, if your milk is not homogenized you should be fine. and you won't need that other part, but if your milk is for modulation, you may want to save it in case you need a little extra help.
Okay, we're 90 degrees. Do you need to start now with our rennet solution? to stir it for about 30 seconds to make sure it is well dissolved and then we will simply turn off the heat, cover it and let it rest for about 10

minutes

. Well, it's been sitting for a few minutes. So now with either a spatula or a long knife you're going to want to cut through the curd, it should solidify to a certain point and you're just going to cut them into long strips, you can see a little bit towards the edge how they are. starting to separate from the wall and you can check if it's not, if I just put the lid back on and let it sit a little bit longer, that's fine and then we're also going to cut so that we have squares. of curd all good now if you are using homogenized milk you can take that other first 1/4 of rennet and dissolve it in 1/4 of water in case you need it and I will tell you at what point you add that, if necessary, we will want to come back turn on the heat to medium heat that we're using this whole time and at this point we're going to want to bring the temperature to about 105 between 105 and 110 okay so you're going to do it very gently as the water starts to heat up you're going to want to turn it down. between these curds just to stir it up a little bit, so I don't know how well the cameras pick that up. up but you can see how all those square pieces stay solidified but they break and against the wall it's moving away, you're going to want to take that, the mom, right in the middle and keep an eye out for those temperatures now at At this point, if you didn't have a good solid curd that was starting to clear up, you'll start to see as it separates that the weight, which is the clear liquid, at first it's a little bit milky, but it will get more and more.
Sure, if it stays milky and doesn't clear up, then you can add the rest of the rennet at this point or when it gets to about 110 degrees and it will help it harden, but if it's working, then don't do it because I don't want to overdo the curds. , but it's hard to really know when you're working with homogenized milk, so I like to make a little extra in case it needs a little extra help, but if not, just let it work with what you have now. I'm getting a good solid yeah we're actually over 110 so at this point I'm moving on once I've lifted as much as I can it would be a skimmer. a little trick I like to use.
I haven't seen anyone else do it, but I think it makes it much easier to collect and strain some of that curd to remove it. I'll use a strainer, I mean, I'll use a Sieve, collect some more like this. In fact, I can get almost everything out of the way without losing anything, so now that all the cards and we're together here, I'm going to put it back on the pot and I'm just pulling that to catch any excess and I'm just going to let it strain into the pot and this way it's extremely high in protein, of course, you know, most exercises better mix protein based protein or milk weight, your whey protein, so you can use this mix.
Along with cattle feed for protein, you can use it in place of water in your breads to get extra protein to help them grow more. You can wash your hair with it. It's actually really good for your hair because it's all protein, so I. I'm going to work this out a little bit to get some of that weight out and then I want to transfer the rest to a microwave safe container. Okay, you can press this a little bit to get some of that waste out, but as we heat it up, it will release any microwaves, from now on you're going to want to put some gloves on because it's going to be very hot and you don't want to have to work that hot, so at this point The need to heat this up the old fashioned way would be to heat it your way and then take your card with your strainer and dip it in until it's hot, take it out, work, dip it in while it's hot, take it out, work, we're on.
We'll make it a little quicker by putting it in the microwave, so we want to microwave it for about 45 seconds on high. After the 45 seconds, we want to strain it anyway. That has come loose and start pressing it. It's going to be very hot. make sure you have some gloves, we'll do this three times, 45 seconds the first time, 30 seconds the second time, 30 seconds even if you want, throw it in and press it through the strainer, help it drain some of that weight. Alright, so you're really looking to get an internal temperature here of one hundred and forty-five degrees, that's where it's going to start to get really cold.
It gets stretchy, it's hot, so be careful and every time we heat it it will release a little. more of that trapped and squeezing it and pressing it and rolling it tight, it's starting to work together, stretching and pulling, folding at this point we want to add our salt, whatever salt you're going to put in, probably about half an hour. okay a teaspoon and you want to stretch that, okay, we'll heat it up one more time. 35 seconds right now, it's really starting to heat up, now we're starting to see the shine of the mozzarella and you're going to work it like you would work bread dough do you want to turn it and stretch it and put it in and you'll see it start?
It is very elastic II, very shiny and now we will let it cool if you want it to cool quickly, you can drop this. If you put it in ice water, you can eat it hot or just prepare it so that we have our delicious shiny, solid piece of mozzarella, we will slice it and put it through the grinder so you can see it and prepare it. delicious homemade lasagna and you will see that it is really very good, you can eat it hot, slice it with some tomatoes, put it on pizza, crumble it, it is great.
A trick I found to crush it is to mix a little parmesan with it. to help dry them out so they don't stick together again once they are good, if you let them cool in the refrigerator for a while they will become very firm and you can grind them up, crumble them of course these are pretty firm big slices so they are straight, so that's our grated version. My little tip to keep it from sticking again, but I think is to add a little bit of parmesan cheese just to help dry out the moisture and stuff. once you put it in the fridge it won't stick back together, but voila, homemade mozzarella, crumble it into slices anyway, now let's make some lasagna with it.
