- Fresh, homemade mozzarella is a MAJOR perk now that we have a milk cow. We never knew it was so easy and it is AMAZING on Kevin's homemade pizza!

***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 3 new videos every week! Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

Sarah,do you know how blessed you are to have a man that makes bread and cheese,and he really loves his wife and girls.HE S A GOOD MAN
More men should really try harder and his wife is pretty great also they make a great team
She's a good woman too. They are both lucky.
@@F-J. They are lucky. It isn't easy to find a true partner.
@@kellywallace-howell2872 ain't that the truth ! 🥰
Do you know how blessed he is to have a woman who works so hard in the garden and makes jams and cans vegetables?
And bam! Just like that Kevin has his own cooking channel. Looks great thanks guys⚘❤
I really appreciate you (and your wife's) easy to follow teaching style.
Also, the enthusiasm is very contagious.
Yes! I'm so tired of all the overly complicated recipes I find when I look anything up online. I love simple recipes with fresh/homemade ingredients, and this is perfect. Thank you for this great tutorial and helpful tips, this is exactly why I am subscribed to your channel.

Awesome video. I could tell how proud Kevin was that most everything was raised by y'all. That must be an awesome feeling
My husband made the mozzarella this evening. It turned out fabulous! I’m making the pizza dough tomorrow. Already looking forward to dinner tomorrow!! Thank you so much!!
I love it when Kevin cook's, he reminds me of a kid in a candy store👍😊
I don't know much about homesteading, but I know a lot about teaching and this guy is as good a teacher as I've ever seen. Absolutely top notch.
This was an awesome video. From start to finish Kevin explains everything so well.
I enjoy this couple so much. Their hard work shows so much in every thing they do.👍👍😊
I love how understandably you describe each step. Thanks‼️
Hi Kevin and Sarah, this is probably my most favorite video of all time! The cheese making was amazing kevin! The pizza looked so delicious! I have to admit I am so jealous of your dinner! All your meals look so yummy but this was extra special when you realize the fruits of your labor and the gift that your land and animals and your hard work offers you in return for being such good stewards of the homestead/farm that the Lord has given to you! Your family is truly blessed! Thank you for bringing all of us along on this amazing journey of yours!!!
Jenenda 🍅🍅🍅
Jenenda - Well said. My thoughts exactly. Thanks
What would be even better is living close by so we can go purchase some of their extras, or even lend a helping hand(s) when needed! There is nothing like HOMEGROWN & FRESH! How I envy them & how I wish I was their neighbor!
Damn Tooting !!
I actually tried to use this video with BAD results. Soon after I added the CITRIC ACID I had grainy ricotta. It is as if the rennet didn't seem to have time to work. So I am making lasagna instead of pizza today.
@@SunriseLAW i know this comment is old, but you may have heated the milk a bit too much! Sometimes that is the problem
Thank you Kevin for your recipe. I got a cheese kit but the Mozzarella cheese never turned out quite right, so I decided to try your recipe. I watched your video twice, and took notes. When I made cheese today, I would play a segment and then do it, adding my notes. Since I used cheap store bought milk, the curds did not look like yours but I kept on going. My curds looked like cottage cheese or ricotta cheese, so I strained them through a flour sack cloth over two colanders and a large bowl. It made it easier to squeeze out the whey, too. I used the hot water bath 5 times as it is cold here today and the cheese cooled off pretty fast. My cheese looks amazing and is cooling now. I can’t wait to try it tonight.
Now that I have your great recipe, I will look for some better milk to use for the next time. Thank you for sharing your recipe and showing us how to make it! All the best! 😀👍💕🌸
want to send a tip for yeast use. I've been baking with yeast for years and yeast in small quanities can be expensive. The tip is to buy a two pound brick and keep it in a good sealed container in the freezer. On my third brick. First two lasted nine years each, starting seventh year on third. keeping it sealed in the freezer it will keep almost indefinatly
Where can you get the bricks?
@@debshilling1353 If you have a wholesale food store in your area they should have it for 5 to 7 dollars. If not google red star yeast and you'll see lots of websites but for more $$ plus shipping. Then it's like Kevin says you'll have to do the nerdy math. good luck.
@@debshilling1353 You can buy at Costco or Azure.
Sam’s Club
Sharon Pace ....we love Azure.
Brother, I absolutely love this video. I’ve watched a few on making mozzarella, but to me, this one is the best. I subscribed. Thanks. God bless!
Awesome! Glad you found us. - Kevin
Looks so yummy Kevin. Sarah he's a keeper. A man who cooks and looks like he loves too, priceless.
mel L-thats right. And he wants to work with her.
I found a pry a lid on Amazon 24.99
You are awesome. Thank you.
Your pizza looked great. Good job on the cheese class. Your instructions and video are very easy to understand and clearly presented. Thanks for sharing!
Curios as to why you didn’t knead the dough and let it rise. I’m Italian. My family did not bake the crust first. Also, the the cheese was put on first. It forms a bond with the dough. Then add your toppings of choice. Sauce is the last step to be added. The edge of the dough is brushed with olive oil. Adding the cheese first keeps the dough from being soggy. The crust cooks more evenly especially the center. There are so many variations to making pizza. I thought I would share mine. Love your videos.
I love how excited Kevin is about his pizza! It certainly looks delicious, I can almost smell it!
❤️ I didn’t realize how easy it was to make my own mozzarella! Definitely sharing this video
I'm watching this at 7:30a.m. and for some strange reason I want pizza for breakfast!! Kevin, it looks SO delicious!! I didn't realize making mozzarella was so easy! Great video!
I'm watching at 7:30 to but I'm in a different time zone.
That what your craving eat it. Never deny what ever craving, you get 👍
Kevin you explain everything, in away we can all understand. Thank you Chief Kevin. When does your cook book come out😊
I just want some cheese! lol.
Me2hunypie I want pizza now this video made me hungry for pizza mozzarella pizza for breakfast and dinner and lunch yum yum 🍕
Hi, I'm Italian, your mozzarella is fantastic, you use a rolling pin better than many Italian women ... there are many ways to make pizza and yours is an Italian pizza, with products from the garden that you and Sarah cultivated ... I make it higher and leavened even 24 hours, but many Italians prefer it low ... Congratulations to the chef!
I love your videos! Love seeing how you and your family are homesteading and how the Lord is blessing you! Love watching the live and support tgat you have for each other! Even though I'm not homesteading, I am learning and enjoying watching you and your family. You all are so much more interesting than any current show or movie! I prefer to watch your channel than any other! I never have to worry or get upset about language, suggestive innuendos, etc! You'all are so refreshing, uplifting and encouraging! Please keep making videos!
Wow! To the wife and children of this man… y’all are so blessed to have a provider that provides to his family, not this world. May God continue to bless your family. This video will take part in sustaining me in the coming months. Thank you for your leading of God to teach others. The days are short.
Good morning! Homemade 🍕 is the best especially when it's homegrown too. Thank you for sharing. God bless
Oh my goodness, this man was an absolute delight to watch! Using all fresh ingredients & he explained everything so exceptionally well. Thank you!🥰👍
he's great!
Use a cheesecloth Kevin to squeeze the liquid out of the curds. Just keep twisting it.
Thank you for the video! You made the mozzarella process so common sense and easy to follow. I have an idea for you on the pizza crust, though.
If you aren't going to wait to rise the dough anyway, why bother adding yeast? If you're doing a quick crust like that, try adding 1/2 tsp or so each of baking soda & baking powder to the flour instead, and keep everything else the same, rest time and roll-out and prebake and all. You'll get a tender pastry crust with softer edges that rises to fluffy goodness without waiting an hour on yeast to rise.
Thank you so much! I will give it a try!
We love your channel! We are in motion to leave our bonds of debt and on the way to establishing our homestead.
Good Luck-Be strong
Sonja-Greg Shiles have an awesome and blessed journey.
Me too... Getting out of the city, it has become incredibly toxic.
Good for you, best of blessings.
Sonja-Greg Stiles ..... Good luck! 🎰🍀 I wish I could afford to live on a farm 🚜
It's nice to see that Serji Tankian has found himself a new hobby with System of a Farm.
My husband is a sweet hard working man - but - he can’t put a piece of balcony between two slices of bread. I love him anyway!
That is why he married you-smart man!!!!
😂
My hubby was like that, had never ever washed a load of clothes etc. until I broke my femur and hip. Ended with me being pretty much disabled. Now he is an excellent cook and does most of everything. We have hired some household help, but daily things he dies daily chores.
Wow I'm impressed and even thou I was raised a farm girl and my mom made her own butter from our milk cow, I had NO IDEA how easy it is to make cheese!
My husband Garry in Northeast TN just got in his truck and says he's heading your way for a piece of pizza! BOLO Red Ford Truck with a hungry man inside!
Kevin I think you’re an excellent teacher and I can’t wait to try making my own homemade mozzarella cheese as soon as Amazon delivers my rennet. Thank you so much for sharing!
I just ordered my rennet while watching this video. Getting my raw milk in 2 days. Hope shipping is fast!😂
Your pizza looked great. Good job on the cheese class. Your instructions and video are very easy to understand and clearly presented. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been wanting a Jersey cow so bad, that milk looked so creamy. 😋 yummy!
I've watched several videos through the yrs on mozz cheese making. Your video is the easiest I've seen. Thank you so much. I'm saving this video for future use. Pizza looks delish. Hugs. God bless.
I enjoyed knowing how to make the cheese and thank you for sharing your pizza dough recipe. Kevin is so excited to produce his pizza with 99% of the ingredients coming from the homestead - I feel happy as well. My mouth don't usually water when I look at cooking shows but it was watering just looking at the finished pizza. Good Job. I love you guys. I learn so much from you all.
I love the way you two keep your instructions simple, thank you so much!
Every time you added another home made step, I was getting more and more excited to see the final product. Thank you for sharing and I bet that pizza tasted just as delicious as it looks through the screen :)
What I like is you can BOTH do what the other NORMALLY does!!! Sure ya right! Pizza looked GOOD, lol!!!
I was thinking the same thing! There are no man chores/woman chores, there are only Homestead Chores!
@@chrismoore9686 Agreed!
Adding freshly dried herbs, crushed garlic, and thinly sliced onions on the top is a nice finishing touch while baking. After the pizza cools for a few minutes, adding fresh basil is delicious. Thank you for helping us feed our families with instruction.
I just love to everything you use is homegrown. You know what's in your food and that's so important. I know it's a lot of work but it's certainly worth it.
Kevin you have given me the confidence to make my own cheese. Great video!
I loved the sparkle in your eyes when the pizza was done, thinking of how the ingredients came from your own land and work. One suggestion: I think using a knife with a rounded tip (like some bread knives) might prevent scratching the pot when you cut the whey (but I admit I've never made cheese).
This not only looks fantastic it also looks very therapeutic. Perfect for a quiet rainy day.
Your mozzarella really looks great. I know you wanted it solid enough to shred but if you left it softer and then stored it in the whey it would be creamier. Delicious!
I cant be the only one who would love to be invited to a pizza party at the homestead! YUM!
Your children will have wonderful memories of growing up on your homestead, where they’ve had most of what they’ve eaten to be organic and homemade, right from the milk they drink to the cheese and butter they eat. How lucky! Hopefully you and your family are doing well during these trying times. My well wishes are with you!
I just made my first batch!! I didn't have citric acid so I had to use vinegar and it came out awesome! Thank you. FYI for anyone wondering i used 1/4 c white vinegar to the gallon of raw milk.
Thanks so much for the info. Have a couple questions... Distilled white vinegar? and have any clue how it would work with pasteurized milk? 😊
Usually my mouth doesn't start watering at 8am.
Yum. Looks amazing! Home grown pizza!!!! Blessed are the cheese makers xxx
I worked at a market here in Richmond, VA that I made 30 pound of mozzarella at a time and made 6 batches a day. I loved it.
Well done Kevin TY ...i csn taste it with u n boy it looked so good u almost want to frame it n save it lol but its so much better in ur mouth !!! Bless u both !!! Do sour fough bread sometime ,please !!!
Oh nice! Which market? Fresh mozzarella is the best
@@madd_moxxi6689 Tom Leonards market in short pump
@@roberthermsen724awesome! I had no idea they made their own
@@madd_moxxi6689 I have worked there in few years but yes every day I made it. Are you from the Richmond area?
After several attempts, this is the first time I am really happy with the result... Thanks
Papa Kevin’s pizza . Better ingredients, Better pizza . Makes me hungry for pizza .
James Turner LOL
man brings back childhood days. i remember doing all this kind of stuff with my mom...
Kevin, that was an amazing video. Really enjoyed the lesson on mozzarella. Your pizza looked fabulous too. Thanks for sharing. God Bless you and the family.
Great video! You can make the dough the day before so you don't have as much work, it can sit in the fridge which will actually make it even better, and you could double the dough as there seems to be enough cheese for two pizzas, I like to over indulge in pizza and I have no regrets! 😀
Amazing! I've watched a lot of cheese making videos, and this is by far the best I've seen. And cooking from pretty much 100% home grown product is a dream that one day I hope to fulfill. Thank you, thank you! P.S. Safety suggestion: put a damp towel or a couple layers of damp paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from slipping around.
Cut a piece of the textured kitchen cupboard liner from the $ store and put it under cutting board, glass bowl etc to prevent it from moving.
Wonderful traditional method video! Thank you for making it, I commented this before on the day you published this video but I deleted it because of comments others made to my comment. I had mentioned in the first comment that I was glad to see the traditional method instead of another microwave version but one troll in particular jumped on my words as if I am anti microwave which is not what I meant so I decided to delete that first comment and thereby deleted all of the comments that had been made to my comment. Again I love the video and thanks again for showing the traditional method which is being lost these days.
Looks so good. Wish I had started doing this when I was younger.
Great Teacher! I enjoyed every minute. I will rewatch later and take notes like "leopardwoman" said she did.
Lol. Just read leopardwoman's comment before yours. ❤
Kevin, great video. Really enjoyed your process for making the Mozzarella. The pizza looked great as well.
God Bless,
Rob Schroeder (Rockford MI)
I use rennet tablets and even use ultra pasteurized milk. The citric acid is essential for separation of curd and whey. I use the whey to fertilize my plants. It’s important to have a really good thick bottom stainless pot and stainless spoon. I use the microwave to reheat my cheese
WOW is the only word that comes to mind.
Just loved this video
I have a suggestion for reusing the ziploc bags. I reuse as many as possible. I make sure to mark on them what was in them. Then I wash it out and store the meat ones in the freezer so there is no chance for them to go bad. Non meat goes in a container in the cupboard.
You can use the whey for lactofermenting, soaking grains and flours etc.
For biscuits, pie crust, use in any recipe calling for milk or water.
May God Bless you my friend, well done, Russell from South Africa 👍
Yum, Kevin you should do a homesteaders cooking channel 😊
That would be great! We should get a bunch of different homesteaders together and make a recipe book, and a cooking channel. That would be really cool.
I’m so thankful I found your page. I absolutely adore you guys. We are soon to start homesteading little bits at a time and hopefully make a full conversion over the next couple of years. Your videos are helping me out so much to mentally prep for our journey. Thank you for being you. 💚
Love everything y'all do, you're such an inspiration
Humble and a real man at the same time. Really like his personality. Probably a good neighbor too! Good recipes with great suggestions.
WOWZA! I've been waiting for a cheese video, and there's an added bonus: Pizza! Thanks! It looks marvelous!
It is a hugely, satisfying feeling to know you have made 99.9% from your own land and hard labor. I am so proud of your family. Wow!!
Now I want pizza for breakfast! Great video...thanks.
I greatly appreciate your enthusiasm for life and real food! I'm going to make some with fresh raw goat milk.
So amazing!!! I’m going to make my first mozzarellas!!!! Thank you so much!!!❤️
Kevin, I am sending this immediately to Son and Daughter-in-law! They can make this I know with your instructions. They make Pizzas and could learn to do this I know. Me? Not so much. 😪
G'day guys, wow!!! That is so cool, looks really tasty great job Kevin.
God bless you guys.
I use ordinary white vinegar for curdling. 7 tablespoons per 4 cups of whole milk. I love it. I use the leftover whey for sour-dough bread. best bread ever. If you want cream cheese instead, use 4 tablespoons. But you will have to use a blender to cream up the curds.
Sarah, I need a Kevin in my life. Does he have a brother, uncle, grandpa, clone...?
All married.
Use the whey to make ricotta
@@LivingTraditionsHomestead . Excellent recipe! What if I don't have a thermometer?
I add ginger to the whey and then carbonate it via Drink Mate for ginger ale. Also, I simmer my frozen (Atlantic) haddock in the whey for a unique flavor. I am glad to hear your pigs are raised properly.
Oh my. Had no idea cheese was made that way! It looks deeeeeeeelicious! Now I want to go make pizza for breakfast. Yummmy. Really enjoy watching Kevin cook. We need to make him an apron! Do you deliver??!
Most cheese ISNT made like this.
It all starts basically the same way. But for different types, you might add extra stuff, wax or cure for weeks to months. Curd Nerd is a great channel for different types of cheeses! And he has a soothing voice, so even if you don't make cheese, he has a calming effect.
I love how you show EVERY step. Thank you so much! I'll be referring to this video often! 😃
Awesome man. Looks so good. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
I love watching Kevin cook! It's always awesome to have a fella who is excellent in the kitchen. Sarah picked a good one! ;-P
I wish my husband cooked. Ur a lucky lady.
dont know about anybody else but my hands hurt just watching you squeeze and stretch that cheese not to mention the heat! fantastic vid. thank you for sharing.
I'm about to give this a try!! I bought rennet last week and I have raw milk. Here we go!
How did your cheese come out?
Sherry K how'd it turn out?
Thanks so much Kevin. I bought a cheese making kit for my wife and we tried to follow the directions that came with the kit and it would have been a disaster. Watching you work with the cheese, use the hot water to allow you to stretch and shape it really saved the day. I haven't even watched the pizza part of the video yet!
Did u know u can use the whey for ur 🌱 plants 🌱 in ur garden I’ve done this they loooove it! ❤️
I guess you could say, they grow whey better.
@@austinpresley6187 🤣
I have friends all over the country, I think all of us have had freezing temps these past few days. I had to cover my plants 3 days, now temps are good!!
17:21 ASMR mozzarella cheese squeezing sounds made me smile 😀
Yes. I'm not sure if you follow itsblitzzzz on RUclips. Her ASMR videos are awesome. 🙌
My husband and I just bought a homestead and you are a Godsend! You are giving us so much great information. Thank you!
Just used this recipe tonight to make mozzarella for the first time! Worked like a dream 🥰
Cheese and pizza looks so delicious!!!! So blessed to have a husband that cooks and everything else he does!! Awesome!! Love your channel!!!
Think I need to get a cow ! LOL 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Jamie McKenzie that’s what I’m think too lol
I didn't have citric acid on hand, but about 3/4c of white vinegar, 5% acidity, worked in a pinch! We have British Guernsey dairy goats, so I always get specifically goat rennet, seems to work best with our milk, which makes sense. It comes 30x concentrated.
It’s 7:12 am and I’m already craving pizza!!
What an awesome job from start to finish Kevin. That looked amazing! Thanks so much for sharing, God bless!
processing the whey makes ricotta too!
WOW!!! IT'S SO AMAZING TO SEE A REAL MAN COOKING HOMEGROWN FOOD IN THE KITCHEN. SUCH KNOWLEDGE IS SO NEEDED FOR HUMANITY. THANK YOU. EXCELLENT PRESENTATION!!!😁🌈🌈🌈🤗
