Wow. That is a serious pizza oven.

I’m a big fan of buying dough balls from restaurants. I’ll have to try Blaze sometime.

We were making homemade pizza last night for dinner, so I stopped by the store on the way home from work to grab a block of low-moisture whole milk mozz. (Galbani is the brand our nearest grocer carries. It seems to work well enough). Well, on the low moisture front, the store was out of anything but skim milk pre-shredded. Thanks but no thanks. After poking around the deli, I found something that seemed like it would be the right level of melty without seeping whey everywhere. (fresh mozz has its place, but it’s a supplement to, not a substitute for low moisture mozz, IMO. ). The fact that it was designated for quesadillas made me think it would work for pizza.

it was excellent! It melted almost exactly like mozzarella, and got golden and stretchy. But I have no idea what kind of cheese it actually is. Flavor wise it was a little more nutty than mozzarella, but not nearly as nutty as parm, or cheddar.

what cheese is this?

It might be queso asadero.
