Recipe of Mozzarella

Join me and let's see how to make Mozzarella

Instructions:

Step 1
• Dissolve the rennet in water.
Step 2
• In a steel pot, heat the milk to 40º C, remove from the heat and add the natural yogurt and the rennet.
Step 3
• Cover the pot and let it rest at 37º C for one hour.
Step 4
• Use a knife to make vertical, horizontal and diagonal cuts.
Step 5
• Let it sit, covered, another 20 minutes.
Step 6
• Stir it and let it rest for another 4 hours at 37 ºC
Step 7
• Strain the whey from the cheese.
Step 8
• Crush the cheese to continue separating the whey from the cheese. Let it sit, covered for 5 hours.
Step 9
• Cut off a small piece of the cheese and place it in a pot of boiling water. If when heated it melts in a chewy way, the cheese is ready to make mozzarella; otherwise you have to let it rest for a while longer.
Step 10
• Cut the cheese into sticks.
Step 11
• In a bowl, make a brine with salt and cold water, stir until it dissolves. Add the ice.
Step 12
• Put the cheese sticks and cover them with water at 50º C, then water at 90ºC. Use a wooden spoon to stir the melted cheese. Stretch it around the stick, so that a cheese ball forms.
Step 13
• Make small cheese balls and dip them in the brine. Let them rest in it for 30 minutes.
