How to make Mozzerella VS how to make Paneer. Bonus, how to make butter.
Mozzerella is a non-aged cheese. You don't need rennet to make it.
Take a half gallon of milk and add in 6 tbsp of vinegar (or 3 tbsp of lemon juice). Heat in a pot to 110F. Stir, until curds form.
If you had rennet to add, then you could do it at this stage.
Cover and remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
Strain and squeeze curds til you have a ball of cheese. Save the whey.
Heat this cheese ball again -- either 30 seconds in the microwave, or 1 minute back in a warm bath of the remaining whey.
Strain again, then fold and stretch your cheese a few times til you have a solid and smooth consistency. Refridgerate up to 2 weeks.
Paneer is also a non-aged cheese. This cheese is not meant to melt.
Take 4 cups of heavy cream and heat in a pot to 194f. Stir occasionally. Add 3tsp of vinegar. Should begin to curdle at this stage. Make sure its completely curdled, add 1-2 more tsp of vinegar if nothing seems to be happening. Once fully curdled, switch off the heat. Strain completely, squeeze all of the whey out of the cheese. Rinse with room temp water. Leave strainer or hang cheesecloth bundle for about an hour. If you want the paneer to be firmer, leave in a press for 30 mins instead. The longer it sits though, the firmer it will be. Cut and store for 2-3 days or use right away.
