Starter for homemade yogurt

Yogurt starter is a product that contains a large number of lactic acid bacteria, including the Bulgarian bacillus. You can't grow them at home, but you can buy them in supermarkets or pharmacies.

How to cook Starter for homemade yogurt

Step 1

Starter for homemade yogurt

Prepare the starter. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Cool to 42 degrees and remove the foam from the surface. Pour the starter into the milk and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. Cover the saucepan with a lid and wrap it in a thick cloth. Leave it in a warm place for 13 hours. Then remove the cloth and put it in the refrigerator for 120 minutes.

Starter for homemade yogurt - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use plant-based milk like almond, soy, or coconut milk, but you'll need a starter culture specifically designed for non-dairy milk for best results.
Homemade yogurt typically lasts 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator if stored in an airtight container.
Yes, a small amount of plain Greek yogurt with live active cultures can work as a starter. Use about 2 tablespoons per quart of milk.
Use a yogurt maker, insulated cooler, or keep it in a turned-off oven with the light on to maintain a consistent warm temperature (around 110°F/42°C).
It's best to add sweeteners or flavors after fermentation as they can interfere with the culturing process. Try honey, fruit, or vanilla extract once cooled.
For thicker yogurt, strain it through cheesecloth or a coffee filter after fermentation to remove excess whey, creating a Greek-style yogurt.
Yes, plain homemade yogurt is naturally low in carbs. Be mindful of added sweeteners or fruits if you're strictly limiting carbohydrates.
Freezing is possible but may affect texture. Thaw in the fridge and stir well before eating to improve consistency.
