what would you
think about using a) fresh mozzarella; b) farmer's cheese (if available);
c) drained cottage cheese?
I just read an article on making mozzarella..and it's basically taking the
curds of freshly made rennet cheese, heating it up and pulling it like taffy
until it all melds together. then you can braid, roll, whatever shape you
wish. So...cottage cheese and farmer cheeses are basically fresh curd, drained
and mixed with cream (cottage) or pressed into a container "as is"
(farmer's).
The least processed (meaning additives) would be farmer cheese. The most:
cottage. Mozzarella is inbetween..no additives, but more handling.
