Homemade Greek/Balkan Style Yogurt image

This is a recipe that I adapted from one I saw on YouTube. I have tried making homemade yogurt many times, using various methods and, BY FAR, this is the easiest way I've found. AND...It makes fabulous yogurt! I followed the directions on YouTube and mixed some with berries and honey. Yum!

Time 14h30m

Yield 4 cups, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 liters whole milk (that's about 1/2 a gallon for all y'all Americans!)
1 cup low-fat milk
1/3 cup powdered milk
10 g yogurt starter (I use yogourmet, from Quebec )

Steps:

  • Pour the milk and powdered milk into a large pot or saucepan and heat on stove to 185F, stirring constantly. This should take about 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and let the milk sit until the temperature reads 110°F
  • Add the starter and stir to combine.
  • Put the lid on the pot and wrap the pot in a blanket. Put it in a warm place (I use my oven - turned off, of course!).
  • Leave it for at least 12 hours. When you check it, it should be solidified, but creamy when stirred.
  • Empty the yogurt into a colander lined with cheesecloth. Set the colander in a large bowl and put it back in the blanket for 1-2 hours.
  • When you check it, there should be about a cup to a cup and a half of clear liquid (whey) in the bowl and the yogurt will be thickened considerably.
  • Transfer the yogurt to the container and refrigerate.

EASY HOMEMADE YOGURT



Easy Homemade Yogurt image

This is a super-easy way someone taught me to make homemade yogurt that requires only 2 ingredients. Pay attention to the notes. Halve the recipe if this is your first time. Usually because store-bought yogurts have lots of additives first-time yogurts do not turn out perfectly. But save 1 cup and use it as base the next time and you will see how well it turns out.

Time 6h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 gallon 2% milk
1 cup plain yogurt with active cultures

Steps:

  • Pour the milk into a pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce heat and simmer, about 10 minutes; do not let it boil over.
  • Remove pot from heat and allow to sit for 30 to 60 minutes. Dip your finger into the milk every once in a while to determine when you can leave your finger in the milk for 10 to 15 seconds without burning. Pour in the yogurt; there is no need to stir.
  • Put the lid on the pot and carefully wrap a blanket around it. Place the wrapped pot in a slightly warm place where it will be undisturbed for 6 to 10 hours; overnight is best. Transfer to the refrigerator to allow the yogurt to continue to thicken.
