[Cheese] mozzarella

[Corina]

Hi Elizabeth,

>What kind of milk do you use for your mozzarella (cow or goat)?

I use whole cow milk, but as far as I know goat would work just as 
well. My mom used to make it with goat milk when I was a kid.

>  Does the cheese work well for pizza when you are done?

Yes! It melts and is stretchy. Don't forget the salt, though, or your 
pizza will be bland.

When I first made it I was surprised it didn't come out like the 
white "fresh" mozzarella you buy in the store--it comes out like the 
packaged kind (yellow and firm enough to grate). The fresh kind is a 
different method, and I have heard it's really hard to master.

>  I have tried mozzarella a few times and found the hot whey and salt 
>brine steps a lot of work, as you said. I haven't tried microwaving 
>it.

Give it a shot! It really removes a  lot of the work.

Have fun!
Corina
