I love some homemade yogurt. Mine is made on the stovetop and it turns out amazing...so I wanted to share it with you!
This makes enough to fit into a commercial sized yogurt container...so yes, feel free to recycle your previous store bought container!
What You'll Need
- 1 gram of Bulgarian Yogurt Starter (you can find this online)
- 1 pint milk (I use raw skim)
- heavy bottom saucepan
- candy thermometer
- glass bowl
- towel
How To
1. In the heavy bottom pan, add your pint of milk
2. Heat to 180 degrees - stirring regularly*
3. Remove from heat
4. When the thermometer reaches 110-115 degrees, add your starter
5. Stir in completely
6. Let cool enough to add to your glass bowl/cover with towel & allow to rest 7-8hours in a room temp place*
7. Once formed, strain for greek yogurt, or just stir, transfer to container with lid and keep in fridge. Will last approx 1 wk.
*stirring regularly, helps to keep the milk fluid instead of having a film. If a film does form, dont worry, simply remove it before stirring again, or strain before adding the starter.
*I will keep mine in a oven to not disturb. I suggest if it's a cold day to go ahead and allow the oven to be on the lowest temp for about 5min occasionally throughout the day and then turn it off.
