What is unusual about this homemade pizza is that not only did I make the dough but I made the mozzarella cheese that went on it! I am re-reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver which is about knowing where your food is coming from. Her family spent a year trying to eat as much as possible in a 100 mile radius from their home. In the book she talks about making 30 Minute Mozzarella and I decided that I wanted to try it. I ordered the ingredients ( 2 of them) from one of her sources and the only other item I needed was a gallon of milk. It was really cool watching the milk turn into curds and then working them together and stretching them like taffy. And it truly took 30 minutes! Definitely worth a try. I may try a few other kinds of cheeses now that I was brave enough to try this first one! Cheesemaking here I come!
