Let the milk sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the curds to form. You should see the curds separate from the whey.
Use a slotted spoon to gently scoop the curds into a colander lined with cheesecloth. Let the curds drain for a few minutes.
Once drained, sprinkle the salt over the curds and gently knead them together to form a smooth, stretchy dough.
Now, gently heat the curds in the microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time, kneading and stretching after each round of heating until the cheese becomes smooth and elastic.
When your mozzarella reaches the desired texture, shape it into a ball or log. If you want it to be extra soft, dip it in ice water for a few minutes.
Store your homemade mozzarella in a container filled with some of its whey or salted water to keep it fresh.
Enjoy your homemade mozzarella on pizzas, in sandwiches, or as a delicious snack! ![]()
