Making Burrata can be challenging, so be patient and follow the steps carefully. Adjustments may be needed based on the type of milk and other factors.
Burrata preparation recipe
Ingredients
- 1 gallon whole milk
- 1/4 tablet of rennet dissolved in the same amount of cool, non-chlorinated water
- 1 teaspoon citric acid
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Ice water bath
Instructions
- Make ready all your ingredients and pour the milk into a large pot and slowly heat it
- After heating, dissolve citric acid in 1/4 cup cool, non-chlorinated water and add it to the milk, stirring gently.
- You then pour the dissolved rennet into the milk and stir gently for about 30 seconds. You then allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for about an hour until a firm curd forms.
- Cut the curd into cubes using a long knife and heat the curds over 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Drain the whey after the curds have rested for some minutes.
- Create the creamy filling by mixing the curds with salt.
- You then take a handful of curds, create a hollow, and fill it with the creamy mixture. Close the curd around the filling, forming small Burrata balls and immerse the Burrata in an ice water bath for about 20 minutes.
- Finally, your homemade Burrata is now ready to be served. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and serve with crusty bread or alongside fresh tomatoes.
- Enjoy!
