Mozzarella
« on: September 23, 2014, 02:11:23 PM »
Wow.  Cold smoked with hickory for maybe an hour.  It's a soft cheese, with a long time to age afterwards it doesn't take much.  We used the cheese on home made pizzas and it completely changed the flavor profile of the pizza in a very good way.  I took the photos off my phone, but you'll have to trust me, multi bueno. 


Edit:  found the pic, if nothing else it highlights my inability to roll out a crust, but since we like pics, here we go...

Bet that's great, Muttley!  Who says pizza has to be round, anyways?  What, the "pizza police??"   ;D ;D   Nice job!

This is how my Mom did her crust and was also in a pan as in your photos. Put thin layer of olive oil on the pan start with crust in the center of the pan. Pull to each side then to the front corners, then the middle. Likewise do the other side. You will have a thin crust covering your pan. I have seen her do a small piece of dough about the size of a softball and cover a 13 x 18 in cookie sheet. But, she would bake 2 to 3 pizza's a couple of times a week. I forgot to mention she only used anchovies as meat and yes we had then on Wed. and Fri. Yes, grew up Catholic those were the no meat days.  ::)

Must try that. I smoke a lot of cheese and make my own pizza but have never combined the two. Thanks for the idea Muttley.
