Hi guys, today we gonna have a little talk about yogurt. You can make a multitude of yogurt varieties, my favorite: Greek (goat milk) and Bulgare (cow milk)! Yogurt is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Introduce by Ottoman Turkish in early XI, his origin is unknown. But it was probably discovered first by Neolithic people in Central Asia and Mesopotamia around 5000 BC.

To make some yogurt you need a yogurt maker electric or not, it’s not important. Personally, I have a non-electric yogurt maker. You also need a thermometer, a starter or a market yogurt, whole milk (any kind of milk), and time. Yes, making yogurt needs time. I used to do it in the evening because yogurt needs 8 hours (4 hours for an electric yogurt maker) so I let sit in the corner.

First step, you need to heat your milk between 180 and 190°F (82 to 88°C). Stir from time to time, to be sure that your milk won’t burn.

When your milk reaches the right temperature, let cool in the corner until you read 110°F (43°C) on your thermometer.

Now you can mix your starter (about 1 gram for 1L of milk) or 1 cup of your market yogurt(without flavor), I save the cup from my last batch to your milk until it’s completely dissolved.

Put in your yogurt maker and let sit for 8 hours, when it’s done put it in the fridge for another 4 hours.

Enjoy!

I have tried many different starters and my favorite one is: https://bacillusbulgaricus.com/

They have many different kinds of starters, not just yogurt, and it’s a success each time. Their yogurts are so soft, creamy, and tasty.

For my yogurt maker, I use Country Trading Co‘s yogurt maker. It’s a non-electric one, so you have to file the maker with hot water before starting your yogurt.
