Homemade Mozzarella Cheese with 2 Ingredients
If you are wondering how to make mozzarella cheese then this easy and quick recipe is going to teach you how to make mozzarella cheese with just two ingredients.
Equipment
- 1 Gloves (This is if you cannot handle the heat or use a spoon to fold the cheese.)
Ingredients
- 2 litres Buffalo Milk
- 80 ml Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Salt - Optional
Instructions
- Take raw buffalo milk in a pot and heat up on a low medium flame till it reaches 120F. Or if you do not want to use a thermometer then make sure that when you dip your finger in the milk you can comfortably keep it in there for 5-6 seconds before it starts getting too hot for your finger and you want to take it out.
- Turn off the heat. Add the 80ml of vinegar in milk. You will see the cheese curds separating from the milk and wait for 5 minutes for this process to complete.
- Now take out the cheese curd and put it in a microwavable bowl(if you cannot use a microwave then read the procedure above to see how to do it in a pot).
- Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds and then take it out and fold it in using a spoon, ladle or even your hands. If you are using your hands and cannot deal with the heat then make sure to use gloves.
- Put the bowl, back into the microwave again for 30 seconds and take it out to fold in the cheese. Repeat this process till you get a smooth ball of mozzarella cheese. It takes me 3 times to do this to achieve a nice smooth ball of cheese. Do not do it more than 4-5 times else the cheese can get a little rubbery.
- Once you are done shaping the ball and forming the cheese, dunk it in cold water so it can harden and you cannot change the shape anymore after this step.
- Finally, take the whey(leftover water from milk after cheese is extracted) and put it in the bowl along with the cheese ball so it doesnt get dry.
- Enjoy your cheese.
