Frequently Asked Questions

Low-moisture mozzarella is the champion of melt—it becomes stretchy and golden. Fresh buffalo mozzarella melts into pools of creaminess. For depth, combine both.
Overcooking is the culprit. Fresh mozzarella should only just melt—it doesn't need to be browned. Add fresh mozzarella in the last 3 minutes of baking for the best result.
