About this recipe

Pizzarella in the Uytella collection is a stretched-curd cheese shaped into a log for pizza. Learning how to make pizzarella at home is good practice in preparing a pliable curd and shaping it neatly after a successful stretch test, and it gives you a cheese of your own for homemade pizza.

What the guide covers

The complete method covers setting the curd, working the curd grains, stretching, cooling and a short spell in brine. Keep in mind that how long the cheese keeps and how well it melts on pizza are two different things. Take care with the hot water used for stretching: it can burn.
