Homemade Mozzarella and Pizza

Have you ever made mozzarella from scratch? It’s really easy and really fun! And the results are absolutely delicious. It only takes about half an hour! I use the instructions at SimpleBites. I only made a half-batch, because I only had a half-gallon of milk, but it was plenty for my pizza. I got my rennet from the Homebrew Emporium in Cambridge, and my citric acid from the Whole Foods at Fresh Market. I’d recommend the liquid rennet – it’s easier than dealing with the tablets.

Pizza ingredients: whole-wheat pizza dough, tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, tempeh bacon, mushrooms, and spinach

I used a batch of  Tuscan Pizza Company’s organic whole-wheat pizza dough, put some tomato sauce on it, and topped it with  my homemade mozzarella and some tempeh bacon, spinach, and mushrooms.

I made the tempeh bacon (using this recipe) with my latest add-on treat from Boston Organics: Rhapsody Natural Food’s Organic Tempeh. The mushrooms and spinach were also from this past week’s delivery (I love my weekly grocery box so much!) If you want high-quality organic produce and groceries delivered to your door from a B-Corp, and you live in the Boston area, I highly recommend Boston Organics!
