Pizza Caprese Fresca.

Today's bake consists of two separate and distinct phases.

 

Phase #1 - The Mozzarella

Phase #2 The bake

Phase one is fresh mozzarella. This formula is 80% the ingredients going in. The other 20% boils down to (pun unintended) experience pulling/shaping the balls. My end game needs practice. Very pleased with my first crack at this!

 

 

Nice work with the cheese Will👏👏👌🤌 How was it the flavor/texture? I have been meaning to try my hand at this after reading The Pizza Bible but I’m afraid I would make a mess of it. It looks like it was well worth the effort?

Getting kudos at the bread club, always makes me smile. You most definitely will not make a mess. Follow my advice about using a high quality milk, and you will be surprised how quick it all comes together.

 It was very easy following the serous eats formula. I think I rushed/payed to much attention to the timing of the heating of the curds. If I waited an extra few seconds I think I could have fashioned a nicer ball! The mild not overly salty taste was on point, as was the creamy texture. The link to the formula I used is below, in case you're interested. 

Mozzarella from Scratch

 

Very nice. I've made cheddar and fetta before, but never mozzarella. I must give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration.

 

That looks like a wonderful pizza taken to the next level by your making your own cheese, super impressed Will.

Looks amazing Will!

I had a go at making mozzarella once, the results were mediocre, but you've inspired me to try again...

I think mozzarella is the cool cheese of cheeses!
