Notes
You can adjust the amount of water in this recipe, depending on how firm you want your cheese. Use just half a cup of water for an extra firm version, or use 1.5 cups for a soft, spreadable one.
If you have a bit more time on your hands, you can also air-dry the cheese for a few hours, so it will get a nice outer rind.
