Mozzarella

[tropics]

Made my first fresh Mozzarella



Heated the milk to 85* and added the citric acid.



Continued heating to 100* added the rennet



Here I missed a step and I shut the burner off. Let it rest for 10min. then removed the curds



Strained into a colander



Finished pick wife didn't want to take any more pics. so no shots of needing the cheese.



It is good



Thanks for looking

One thing I need to add is,  When you are near the end kneading and stretching add your salt, It does need some salt.
