tonight i made brazilian cheese rolls:

i used a yoki mix but you can also find recipes online to make them from scratch. here are the directions (the instructions are in portuguese): add 1/2 cup water, 2 eggs to the mix; bake for 40 min at 350 degrees. i normally add an additional 1/4 cup of shredded cheese mix (mozzarella, romano, asiago, parmesan work well) but didn ‘t have any tonight—i have to say, they taste much better with the extra cheese… also, i usually bake for less time—somewhere between 20-30 min so they are chewier and less dry.

This mozzarella never became stretchy. It was my first attempt to make cheese, so I’m not sure what I did wrong. I think that it was either too much lemon juice instead of using citric acid or I got it too hot. I’ll try again another day.
