A bread machine is a great helper in the kitchen. With this device, the process of making dough products turns into easy fun. The bread machine itself will knead, let it come up, create the necessary temperature regime, mix it up and cook. From the hostess it is only required to consistently lay down products and establish teams. But few people know that in addition to bread, rolls and muffins, you can cook yogurt in a bread machine. The recipes for a delicious fermented milk product are very diverse. And the point is not even what flavoring additive you use to make homemade yogurt - bread makers from different companies have special modes. Some brands of cars have a dedicated function, which is called "Yogurt". But with the help of simpler designs, you can prepare a fermented milk product.
Bread machine LG HB-3001 or LG HB-2001
What do you need to cook yogurt at home? Yogurt consists of milk and sourdough. The first product can be bought both in the store and in the market. The main thing is that milk is not intended for long-term storage. After pasteurization, the environment for the development of sour milk bacteria is completely absent, therefore, the starter culture will not act in it. The second ingredient in yogurt is sold in pharmacies. It is noteworthy that on each bag it is described in detail how you can cook yogurt yourself in a bread machine. Recipes are not much different from each other. The design of the LG HB-3001 bowl is designed for one and a half liters. We’ll take so much milk. First you need to boil it and cool to a temperature of forty degrees. We pour half a glass of milk and dilute a pack of Sacco sourdough in it. Pour to the remaining mass. Stir and fill the bucket. Set the mode "Yogurt" and the time is eight hours. Cover and wait. The taste of the finished yogurt can be diversified by adding various jams, jams, fruits or honey.
Philips HD 9046
A special container for making yogurt is included with the device. This is very convenient, since many companies make money selling special yogurt makers, but they are not very functional and differ only in that they have small portioned jars in the set. But the Philips company produces a bread machine with a special container, which we will use. We heat a liter of milk. By the way, instead of sourdough, you can take purchased yogurt. We breed a standard jar of Activia in a liter of warm milk. Close the container, insert it on the pin in the bucket. Yogurt in a bread machine (recipes for almost all designs require eight-hour fermentation) will work much earlier. After 6 hours, you can get it and put it in the refrigerator. After 120 minutes, it will thicken even more.
Dispenser - why is it needed?
The latest bread machines are equipped with this optional device. The dispenser serves additional ingredients not at the beginning, but during the preparation process - exactly when it is needed. When we read about how to make yogurt in a bread maker, the recipe tells us to mix it with jam, syrup, cereals or nuts. But if we lay down these flavors immediately, it turns out that we introduced them into plain warmed milk. And you can’t do that. So it turns out that the dispenser is very useful in preparing homemade yogurt. He will add the necessary ingredients when the milk is already sufficiently fermented. It’s great if your kitchen assistant has a dedicated “Yogurt” function. You only need to install the necessary program and click on the "Start" button. But do not forget to keep the finished product for several hours in the refrigerator for complete thickening.
Redmond Yogurt Recipe
If you are a passionate fan of this brand of household appliances, then choose the brand RBM-1906. The model is not only equipped with the "Yogurt" function, but also has a special container with a lid. This is quite convenient, since you do not need to lay out the product in jars. The bread machine is equipped with a recipe book, among which you can also find tips on cooking yoghurts.
You can take ready-made sourdough or ferment milk with purchased store-bought yogurt. Of the well-known brands, Activia has proven itself best. In it, a living bacterial culture begins its vigorous activity in a new habitat - milk heated to forty degrees. But if you use purchased yogurt, you need to take the product "Natural", that is, without flavoring. Sugar, jam, berries or honey is better to put in an already finished product. In the Redmont bread machine, yogurt is prepared for eight hours. For about 120 minutes, he should settle in the refrigerator.
Yogurt in the Mulineks bread machine: recipes
If you are only looking for a kitchen helper, we recommend that you purchase a model from the new Moulinex series called Fast & Delicious. It is represented by three types of bread machines. All of them have a dedicated function "Yogurt". By the way, this bread machine is not only preparing a simple product that you need to eat with a spoon. Fast & Delicious can make you drink yogurt or ferment milk to such an extent that you get a delicious home-made cottage cheese. Recipes can be found in a special booklet, which is included in the kit. You only need to mix milk, sourdough, sugar (optional), flavors, and a bread machine for breakfast will give you a delicious and healthy yogurt. There is no need to heat the environment to activate bacteria - the machine will do it itself.
Bread machine "Liberton"
The Liberton LBM-04 brand is equipped with the dedicated Yogurt program. In a bread machine (recipes are included), it is prepared as simply as in devices of other brands. Sourdough for a dish is better to buy in a pharmacy (dry bacterial culture). The bucket of the bread machine must be thoroughly washed and wiped before preparing the yogurt. Only then can heated milk be poured. If you set the machine for eight hours, you get thick, jelly-like yogurt. Better to reduce cooking time. Then the creamy yogurt will “reach” in a few hours of standing in the refrigerator. If you cook a natural product without sugar and flavors, then it can subsequently become a starter.
Vitek
The new generation bread makers from this brand are equipped with fifteen programs, one of which is Yogurt. This dish is especially well prepared by the model Vitek VT-1992 W. In the cookbook, which is attached to the device, there is an instruction on how to cook yogurt in a bread machine. Photos, recipes, recommendations will make it possible to prepare a delicious product, even if the book is in an incomprehensible language. Of the advantages of the Vitek bread machine, it should be noted that she does not cook yogurt for eight, but six hours. So, at least, is indicated in the recipe. The bowl of the device is not as big as that of the competitors, but we also do not eat yogurt in kilograms. If you correctly calculate the proportions, you can prepare a drinking option.
If there is no dedicated program
Above, we examined the recipe for yogurt in a bread machine with the function "Yogurt". And if our kitchen worker is released long ago, and she does not have a dedicated program? Isn’t she able to cook plain yogurt? How else can! Any bread machine is designed to allow the dough to stand and come up warm. And what else is needed for the development of lactic acid bacteria? So, without any doubt, pour warm milk with a sourdough into the bucket of the old, time-tested helper, stir it, close the lid and set the mode to “Preheat”. By the way, yogurt can even be made ... in a simple thermos. The main thing is that he should keep warm for eight hours.
