Homemade yogurt in a slow cooker with sourdough

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make homemade yogurt in a slow cooker with sourdough? Prepare the products according to the list. You can take any milk - both homemade and store-bought. Fat content, too, choose for yourself. How much to add sourdough, read the instructions on the package - they are all different.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the dishes in which you will cook yogurt. It is more convenient to do this in small jars. Immediately calculate their number, depending on the amount of milk. You can sterilize the jars, especially if the yogurt will be eaten by children. You can do this in any known way. I have small jars, I sterilize them on the spout of a boiling kettle.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the milk - if it is pasteurized store-bought, then it is enough to heat it to a temperature of 40 degrees. If the milk is homemade, first boil it, and only then cool it to the desired temperature. It is very convenient to measure the temperature with a special thermometer, but if you don't have one, then just touch the milk - milk of the right temperature is pleasantly warm, not hot.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add the sourdough to the milk, mix well.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the milk into the prepared jars. Do not pour milk to the very edge of the jar, leave a place on top. So it will be more convenient to cook it, and then eat it.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put a napkin or cloth in the bowl of the slow cooker at the bottom. Put the cans down. Cover them with lids without screwing. Instead of lids, you can cover the jars with plastic wrap.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour water into the bowl. I took ordinary tap water, lukewarm. The water should reach the level of yogurt in cans.

9. Step 8:

   

   Close the slow cooker and set the appropriate mode. If your slow cooker has a "Yogurt" function, then just install it, the time is about 8 hours (focus on the features of your slow cooker). If there is no such mode, turn on the "Heating" mode. After 15 minutes, turn it off and leave the slow cooker for an hour. Then again, the "Heating" mode for 15 minutes, rest for 3 hours. Once again "Heating " 15 minutes. And again rest for 3 hours.

10. Step 9:

    

    Thus, your slow cooker acts as a thermos, maintaining and keeping warm for a long time. As a result, the milk is fermented due to bacteria, and yogurt is obtained. Remove the finished yogurt from the slow cooker and put it in the refrigerator.
