Time 11m

Yield 1 pound mozzarella

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 tablespoons kosher salt
4 cups water
1 pound fresh mozzarella cheese curd*

Steps:

  • Add 2 tablespoons salt to 4 cups simmering water.
  • Chop the cheese curd and add to a large bowl. Pour the simmering water over the chopped curds.
  • Use 2 wooden spoons to push the curds together to make one ball. Move the ball around in the water for roughly 1 minute so it can become pliable.
  • While wearing thick dishwashing gloves, remove the curd from the water and pull it into a long cord and fold it back onto itself. Do not overwork the cheese or it will become tough.
  • Pinch off the mozzarella to create balls and tuck the end under each ball for a neat appearance.
  • Place the mozzarella into a bowl of cool water.
  • Store in the salted water you used to soften the curd.
