Introduction

I've been trying my hand at making my own yogurt & Greek yogurt in my crockpot. It's time involved but super easy and much cheaper than store bought. I've been trying my hand at making my own yogurt & Greek yogurt in my crockpot. It's time involved but super easy and much cheaper than store bought.

Ingredients

    1 gallon of milk (I've used whole, 2% & 1%)

    1/2 cup plain active culture yogurt

    1-2 cups powdered milk



Directions

Pour 1 gallon of milk into the crockpot. To help thicken the yogurt, add 2-3 cups of powdered milk.

Heat on low til it reaches 180 degrees.

Unplug and cool down until it hits 95-115 degrees.

Take 1/2 cup plain yogurt (it needs to contain live cultures) mix it with a cup or so of the milk. Stir til blended smoothly. Then put back in the crockpot and mix it all up.

Wrap the crockpot up in a big bath towel and put it in the oven with the oven light on. Leave that way overnight or 8-12 hours.

In the morning you will have a crockpot full of yummy goodness!! Put in the fridge for a few hours to cool. If you want thicker yogurt you can strain over cheesecloth.
