How to Make Yogurt (and Greek Yogurt!) at Home
Make room in your fridge! No Images? Click here How to Make Yogurt and Greek Yogurt at Home The most compelling reason to make yogurt at home is that the results are phenomenal. Even in our early stages of testing, when Daniel could only get a single generation out of his starter before the culture failed, that first batch was unreal each and every time. The yogurt you make at home will quickly rival the best stuff you can hope to buy at the store. Two recipes to get you startedThis recipe for homemade yogurt walks you through the process for success, and works with a variety of milks. It also points out where you can vary the method for different results, allowing you to experiment and find the kind of yogurt that you like most. Strained yogurts like Greek yogurt and labneh are simply made by draining whey from plain yogurt. You can use store-bought or make it yourself. How thick your final result is depends on how long you let it drain. Your incubation instruments of choice To get your milk to turn into yogurt, you'll need to incubate it. Specifically, you'll need to hold it at a 100°F for eight hours. This is a task easily achieved by your handy dandy precision cooker (like the Joule, pictured here). If you want to opt for a more traditional method, try incubating in an Indian clay pot. Pour the warm cultured milk into one of those, then set it in a warm spot. The clay allows moisture to escape, subtly thickening the yogurt as it sets. And once you've made your yogurt... Leaping from sweet to savory in a single bound, marinating meat and topping grilled vegetables, yogurt more than earns its place as a mainstay in your kitchen. What can you do with all that yogurt? Let us count the ways. Moist and tender baked goods, creamy white wine frozen yogurt, and other dessert recipes to convince you that Greek yogurt is more than just a tasty snack. |
