Homemade yogurt in a multicooker is the embodiment of simplicity and health in one recipe. This delicate, velvety product with a slight tang and creamy flavor can be made with little effort. The tradition of making yogurt by hand dates back to ancient times when dairy products were naturally fermented. The modern method using a multicooker simplifies the process and makes it accessible to everyone. Yogurt is perfect for breakfast or a snack; it can be enjoyed on its own or complemented with honey, fruits, or nuts. It is a valuable source of probiotics beneficial for digestion and immunity. This recipe is a great opportunity to enjoy natural yogurt without preservatives and artificial additives while trying your hand at being a true culinary artist.

Ingredients

• Milk: 1.4 l
• Sugar: 3 tbsp
• Vanillin: 1 g
• Bacterial starter: 3 tbsp

Cooking steps

1. Mix all ingredients with a whisk or blender. Wait until the sugar dissolves (you can gently heat it on low power on the stove)

   Required ingredients:

   • Milk: 1.4 l
   • Sugar: 3 tablespoons
   • Vanillin: 1 g
   • Bacterial starter: 3 tablespoons

2. You can skip sugar and vanillin - you'll get a wonderful natural yogurt!

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 3 tablespoons
   • Vanillin: 1 g

3. Pour into jars (my bucket holds 3 cans of tomato paste 550 ml), cover with lids (do not screw on, just cover) to prevent condensation.

4. Place a heat-resistant plastic/silicone mat at the bottom of the multicooker/pressure cooker (to prevent jars from cracking from the hot pot), put the future yogurt on it, and pour water into the bowl up to the shoulders of the jars.

5. Every multicooker/pressure cooker I encountered has a mode that the device switches to after the food is cooked. For example, rice is cooked in 7 minutes — the keep warm or reheating mode turns on. It has different names. Find out how this mode is activated :)

6. Turn on this mode, time for 6-7 minutes (during this time, the water heats up to about 45 degrees, and the yogurt ends up at 40, which is what we need). Leave it alone for about 6 hours, do not open the lid during this time.

7. Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to ripen
