I need "bakers cheese" for a recipe. Where can I find it? What is it?

Answer 1

Bakers Cheese is similar to Cottage Cheese but smoother and softer. Mainly used in baked goods.

Answer 2

If you're looking for cheddar, mozzerella, ghouda or any harder cheeses, they're all fine for baking. (the normal bricks you buy in the grocery store)

If you have a normal bakery near you (a small one, preferably, as they're normally cheaper and more honest) they'll be able to sell you baker's cheese, as well.

All baker's cheese is is it's made with less of the milk curd and more of the actual curd, so it's slightly harder.

Answer 3

Makes about 1 pound
(Tastes like Ricotta or cream cheese, may be used in any recipe calling for either cheese)


1/4 rennet tablet* (junket)
2 quarts warm water
3 cups non-instant ( 5-1/3 cups instant) dry milk
1/2 cup buttermilk
Dissolve rennet tablet in warm water. Thoroughly mix in dry milk. Add buttermilk and mix well. cover and allow to stand at room temperature until set (about 5-10 hours). Pour into a cheesecloth covered strainer, close the cheesecloth and squeeze out as much whey as possible. The whey must be saved for use in bread. Place the cheese in the refrigerator until well chilled (usually overnight). Knead cheese until the texture is smooth. Cheese will freeze well for up to 6 months.
*Rennet in available in most grocery stores near the gelatin section. Rennet is the enzyme rennin
