Any Home Bakers Here?

Baked my first pizza today. The cheese dripped on the grill and it was a bit overcooked.

Try using a low moisture cheese. The one I buy says good for shredding. The high fat cheese can be quite gloppy

Makes sense I buy cheese shredded at Costco for that mozzarella

The mail is going very slow!

I ordered stamps from USPS on 4/02. Still haven't got them! Stamps! From the post office!

Shredded cheese often has starch mixed into it so the the cheese does not stick together.

Luckily I still have hand strength to shred cheese!

Starch isn't so bad. Remember when it was discovered some mfgs were using sawdust in their cheese? My personal favorite was a commercial saying "Now with Real Cheese!". What on earth were they using before that?!!

I know! The sawdust was added fiber!

The starch in the cheese can make some recipes not as creamy when melting and it can make the cheese not melt well.

It is very convenient though and works well for most things. I might start using it more especially for taco night!

I never buy shredded cheese. I want ALL CHEESE. I also grate my Parm
Cheese. Aria

Parm is easy to grate, mozzarella not so much.

I mentioned this about a week ago but finally found a picture. My favorite bake ever!

Amazing! I wouldn't ever have thought to do something artistic by shaping bread other than round or long.

Pictures please @raokshd Welcome to Bakers thread

And to BYC!
