Would you tell me how you pronounce mozzarella?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Easy. Like this: mozzarella
I couldn’t resist.
The proper scientific term is, I believe, “Red Rocket”. :D
Different choice of brew, but that’s my primo pizza as well ;>P
OMG, how embarrassing! of course it is bufala! I can’t believe I put an o at the end of that. (hangs head in shame)
Don’t know where you or Nick are...
Around here we say...motz..a..rella.
Is that incorrect? No doubt.
A genuine Italian friend whose name ends with an i says you must pronounce it MOOTS-a-rella.
Last week I visited some friends and we made pizzas on the gas grill. The wife made the dough and we pressed it out by hand. Her husband grilled all the vegetables on the grill and I sliced fresh, butcher shop pepperoni. I also sliced up the belgiosie mozzarella. We grilled one side of the dough and then brought it inside the house and turned it cooked side up so we could put the sauce and various ingredients on it. Then we took it back outside and put it on the grill, closed the cover and let it cook for another five minutes at around 400 degrees. The cheeses were melty and the dough was crisp but chewy. It was delicious.
Worst episode ever!
Sounds delicious!

Blasts from the past.........
My favorite pizzeria growing up in the Pittsburgh area used provolone. I still prefer it to mozzarella, though as long as there is plenty of it mozzarella is OK too.

Grilled pizza. Cook one side of the dough, without any ingredients on it. Then take it off the grill and add the ingredients to the cooked side. Put the pizza back on the grill and finish the cooking, with the lid closed. Temps should be between 400 and 450 so that the dough doesn't burn.
I grew up in an area with many people of Sicilian descent pronounced it mooz-ah-rel or mooz-ah-rel-ah.
Lookin Good!
