Margharita Pizza - with home made mozzarella

in Baking
I made my first home made mozzarella using the "One Hour Cheese" book. 
https://www.amazon.com/One-Hour-Cheese-Mozzarella-Paneer--Even-Burrata/dp/0761177485/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470873284&sr=8-1&keywords=One+hour+cheese
It was fun and well worth the effort. There was significant satisfaction making a pizza from home made dough and cheese with basil from the garden. I had to buy the tomatoes :(
Sorry I don't have pics of the cheese making - the good part happens quickly and I needed an extra hand.

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    Looks delicious! I too am a big fan of fresh home made mozzarella. Here is one of my batches and look at the remaining whey from that 1 gallon of whole milk!

    @RRP It took a couple of tries before I got the hang of it, but it was fun and I loved the flavor. What do you do with your whey?

    If you Google the uses it is amazing what all it can be used for! The majority of mine has gone to providing acidity in the soil for great tomatoes, but the uses are endless.

    Wow that looks absolutely perfect.  

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    @RRP Yeah, they're not kidding about it being hot when you knead and stretch the cheese.
