  • Ingredients

Steps:

  • Combine 1/4 cup water and rennet in a small bowl; mix well.
  • Combine remaining 1/2 cup water and citric acid in another small bowl; mix until dissolved.
  • Pour milk into a large pot set over medium heat. Stir in water-citric acid mixture. Heat milk, stirring occasionally, until it registers 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove milk from heat and stir in rennet mixture in a figure-8 motion for 30 seconds. Stir counterclockwise for 30 seconds to still the milk. Let stand, covered, until milk sets into curd, 5 to 10 minutes. Press edge of the curd gently with a palette knife or the back of a spoon to check for firmness.
  • Slice vertically into the pot to cut curd into 3/4-inch cubes with a palette knife. Stir curds gently, but leave cubes mostly intact.
  • Return pot to the heat; cook over medium heat, stirring curds gently, until temperature reaches 109 degrees F (43 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Ladle curds into a colander set over a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Press curds gently to extract liquid whey. Pour drained whey back into the pot.
  • Heat whey to 185 degrees F (85 degrees C), about 5 minutes. Wearing gloves, tear off a piece of curd and place on a slotted spoon. Dip curd into hot whey for 5 to 10 seconds. Stretch, fold, and knead the curd. Repeat until mozzarella is smooth and elastic. Knead in salt and form curd into a ball. Repeat dipping and kneading process with remaining curd.
  • Allow mozzarella to cool. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator.

  • Start by dissolving rennet in 1/4 cup water. Then pour milk into a large non-reactive pot. Place the thermometer in the pan and secure to the side.
  • Sprinkle citric acid powder over top, store the remainder for later use. Stir dissolved rennet into milk. Stir for one minute. Heat milk to 90 degrees and hold steady at that temp. This was a little more challenging with an electric cooktop than gas, but I got it to work! Do not heat over 90 degrees.
  • After 5-10 minutes, milk will start to separate, cheese curds from whey. Cheese curds will be a silky, gelatin-like substance. Whey is a liquidy, yellow substance, look around the edge in the picture. Using a large knife, cut curd into a checkerboard pattern with squares equaling 1×1 inches.
  • Continue to heat milk mixture to 110 degrees for 10 minutes. Be mindful that it does not go over 110 degrees. Cheese will continue to separate.

  • Prep the Ingredients. Fresh mozzarella is made with four simple ingredients: milk, rennet, citric acid, and salt. It's especially good made with whole milk—just make sure it's not ultra high temperature (UHT) pasteurized.
  • Add The Rennet. Pour 1 gallon whole milk into a large heavy pot. Stir in the citric acid mixture and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 90°F on an instant-read thermometer (it will feel slightly warm to the touch).
  • Cut the Curds. After 5 minutes, the mixture should be set with a gelatin-like texture, and pull away from the sides when you jiggle the pot. (If it's still a liquid, let it sit for another 5 minutes).
  • Cook the Curds. Set the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring gently every once in awhile to avoid breaking up the curds too much, until the curd mixture reaches 105°F.
  • Separate the Curds From the Whey. Dip a fine-mesh sieve into the pot and use it to separate the curds from the thin yellowy liquid (the whey). Clump the curds together and drain off as much whey as possible.
  • Reheat Curds. Bring a second large pot of water to just below boiling, about 185°F. Put the curds in the strainer and lower into the hot water for 2–3 minutes.
  • Stretch Mozzarella. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt over the cheese. Working over the pot of hot water, gently fold the curds over itself, stretching as you fold.
  • Shape The Mozzarella. To finish the mozzarella, shape it by pulling the edges in towards the base to form one large ball, two smaller balls, or many bite-sized balls.

  • Place dry pasta and 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt in a 4-quart pot and barely cover with cold water. Bring just to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, then test for doneness. You're looking for al dente, that is, the noodles should put up some resistance to the tooth but not so much that it gums up in your back teeth, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta in a colander but do not rinse.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is pale blond, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the mustard and paprika, and cook until aromatic, about another minute. Whisk in the milk, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, whisking often, until mixture is slightly thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese, remaining salt, and pepper. Fold in the macaroni and move to the prepared dish.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, then toss the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and distribute evenly over the top. Bake until golden on top, but not dried out, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, then serve to a grateful world.

ALTON BROWN'S MAC AND CHEESE : COOKING

Swiss cheese (emmentaler) though helps make the cheese extra stretchy, if you're going for that. Some uses a ton of parmigiano reggiano or pecorino and not everyone is trying to dump in 10 or 20 dollars worth of one cheese. Similar with parm/pecorino, provolone gives a particular flavor that I enjoy but many people want the classic American flavors like velvetta or cheddar/jack cheeses.
