Warm Pizza Dip

September 7, 2016 By Manu Leave a Comment

Warm Pizza Dip

You know how I always complain about “Australian mozzarella”? It always feels like plastic and it never stretches enough, like real mozzarella should. Remember my video on how mozzarella is made in Italy? Well, my dear Sydneysiders, I have great news for you. I found a place that makes very good fresh mozzarella: La Stella Latticini. They call it Fior di Latte log and it comes in 1 kg pieces. If you don’t eat it all, you can cut it up and freeze it. I use it for so many dishes: pizza (yep, no more plastic cheese in this house!), meat dishes, pasta bakes, lasagne, risotto, pasta… you name it. And it stretches, it DOES! It also tastes very good, just like mozzarella should. So, being that I finally found good mozzarella, I am making the most of it: expect a few dishes that feature this amazing cheese coming up in the next few weeks. This Warm Pizza Dip is really easy to make. Do not expect to find “toppings” in it… it’s just a “Margherita” pizza dip – the Italian way. Serve it hot and gooey with some home-made crusty bread.
