That does not mean it will never blister, but its cooking performance is often more predictable.
Drain fresh mozzarella before using it
If you enjoy fresh mozzarella, you do not necessarily have to give it up.
Instead, try draining it before placing it on the pizza.
Remove the cheese from its packaging liquid and let excess moisture escape.
You can gently blot the surface with a clean paper towel.
Some cooks slice the cheese and allow it to drain in the refrigerator before baking.
This helps reduce excess surface moisture while preserving the cheese's characteristic texture.
Avoid piling cheese too thickly
More cheese is not always better.
A very thick layer can create uneven heating and trap moisture differently from a thinner, more uniform layer.
Try distributing cheese evenly across the pizza.
Leave enough space for the underlying sauce and crust to cook properly.
You may discover that a slightly smaller amount produces a better overall balance.
