).
Heat the milk mixture to 180 degrees or until small bubbles form on the side of the pan and the milk begins to rise up (about 5 minutes.
).
Pour the scalded milk into a pitcher and allow to cool to 100 degrees (about 50 minutes).
About half-way through the cooling time, remove your yogurt from the refrigerator and allow to set out or it will shock the starter.
When the milk mixture has cooled to 100 degrees, stir in the yogurt starter (Dannon yogurt).
Pour the yogurt into a clean quart canning jar and cover with the lid.
Wrap the jar in a towel or blanket and place in a styrofoam cooler or haybox.
Be sure it is wrapped tight without any room for air to circulate around the jars.
Pack it snug.
Let the yogurt incubate in the box for 9 hours.
Remove the jars from the hay box and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Note: You can add a couple T of your favorite fruit jam in the bottom of the glass jars before pouring the unset yogurt mixture into the jars.
Save a bit of the yogurt from this batch to use as the starter for your next batch - so you dont have to buy the Dannon Yogurt again.
Well, at least not for a while.
Eventually you might want to start with a fresh starter as the taste will get stronger with each batch (about every third or fourth time).
You can buy a large container of Dannon Yogurt and freeze the unused portion in icecube trays to use for later yogurt batches.

Wash rice, rubbing it through your fingers in several changes of water until the water is almost clear.
(this rids the rice of excess starch and prevents crust from sticking to the pan when cooking.
).
Cover with water by at least 1 inch and add 2 tablespoons of the salt; stir.
Let stand at least 2 hours; turn into a colander and drain water.
Using the same saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the remaining tablespoon of salt, then sprinkle in the soaked rice, keeping the water at a boil.
Stir once to keep from sticking to the bottom, then boil over medium heat, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Remove rice from heat and drain in a colander.
Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in the same, dry, saucepan.
Stir in the oil and yogurt.
Spoon half the rice in lightly, then sprinkle on the currents, and top with the remaining rice.
Dot with remaining 5 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
Put a double thickness of paper toweling on top of the pan, then a tight-fitting lid.
Turn heat to medium and cook until you hear the rice sizzling, 5 to 8 minutes, to form the crust.
Then turn heat to as low as possible, and let rice steam 1 hour.
(a little shorter or longer time doesn't matter).
Remove rice and set pan in cold water a few minutes.
This will help loosen the crust which has formed on the bottom.
Loosen edges around rice with a spatula.
Put a serving platter over the top; invert rice onto platter.
If cooked properly, the rice should unmold with the crust on top.
(if not, no problem- just scrape out the crust as best as you can and place on top of rice.
It will still be attractive!

To prepare in advance, complete all steps, but be certain to unmold immediately on an overproof platter.

Dough should be light and airy.

I like to leave them irregularly shaped instead of perfectly round.
Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until the tops are just starting to turn golden.
After they've cooled for a bit, slice them in half horizontally.
Use a combination of any of your favorite fillings: lightly mashed fresh fruit, vanilla pudding, mascarpone cheese, chocolate sauce.
My son likes to put a fruit layer and a whipped cream or pudding layer in the center, then add the top half, and then top with a fruit layer and lots of whipped cream.
*****You can also make a savory version of these shortcakes by omitting the sugar and vanilla, and adding parmesan cheese and a dash of garlic or onion powder.
Top with olives, refried beans, sour cram, and salsa or greek salad.

Let sit until the curd sets and breaks clearly when tested with a finger - about 20 to 30 minutes.
Cut the curd into 1/2 inch cubes as evenly as possible.
Maintain at 90 degrees F for 15 minutes, stirring with a clean hand.
The curds are fragile because they have not been cooked, so stir very gently, just enough to keep them from matting together.
Gently pour the curds into a cloth lined colander.
When the whey has drained, the curd should be in one solid piece.
Rinse in cold water, then soak in a pan of cold water for 15 minutes.
If it is a big batch, cut the curd into several blocks, 4 or 5 inches square.
Drain off most of the water, then refrigerate the curds, or keep in a cool, 40 degrees F place.
Leave them in a colander or other container that allows drainage.
The next day, warm the cheese to room temperature so it will ripen, or become more acidic.
After an hour or so, test the cheese for acidity as follows.
Cut off a small piece of cheese and cut it into three 1/2 inch cubes.
Heat several cups of water in a sauce pan to 165 degrees F.
Put in the cubes and stir for 5 minutes.
Remove the cubes and mold them together like modeling clay.
Reheat the lump of cheese in the water for a minute, then remove and work or mold it together a little more.
After repeating several times, try to pull the curd apart.
If it breaks or tears, and clouds the water, it is underripe.
Wait an hour or so and test again.
When it pulls into a long rope and can be molded together again, it is ready.
It will have a glossy surface and* will cloud the water only slightly.
The whole cheese is treated somewhat like the test sample to finish it.
Cut it into small cubes and put them in a pan.
Heat water to 170 degrees F and pour enough over them, to cover the curds by about 2 inches.
Keep a thermometer in the pan and let the temperature drop to 135 degrees F.
Press the cubes together, and then knead the cheese, by stretching and pulling it, as if working modelling clay.
It should become \"plastic\" and stretch into long strands.
When it does, shape into half pound balls, or make a thick rope, fold it in half, and twist several times to make a decorative oblong cheese.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/53998/mozzarella-cheese"},{"id":"53994","title":"Rich Chocolate Yogurt","ingredients":"milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d

yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"when you buy the plain yogurt, make sure that you read the ingredients and make sure you get a plain yogurt that only has cultured milk, and nothing else (good brands are \"stonyfield\" \"wallaby\" \"brown cow\" the vons store brand \"organics plain yogurt\") if you get organic is BETTER!
you will only need to buy yogurt 1 time, because you will be able to use your own yogurt to make more.
you will also need a food thermometer, but if you do not have one, you can still get a yogurt, but with the thermometer you will achieve the best results.
make sure that all the utensils you will be using are spotless sparkling super clean!
put the 8 cups of milk in a stainless steel pot and turn on low.
stirring occasionally, let the milk slowly warm up to 185F.
if you are not using a thermometer, warm up to the point that is hot that you see it evaporating, but do NOT let in boil.
as soon as you reach the right temperature, fill your kitchen sink with cold water, and put your pot in this bath, and stir to cause the milk to quickly cool down to 115-120F.
if you are not using a thermometer, try to feel the temperature and compare it to the hottest water that can come out of your faucet, mine is set at 123F, if it is about the same it should be cool enough.
take 2-4 tablespoons of the now cooled milk and mix it with the yogurt, mix well.
mix the mixed milk and yogurt to the rest of the cooled milk, stir well.
pour the milk mixed with the yogurt in containers with lids.
you can use clean old yogurt container or tupperware, just make sure you have lids!
take your pick nick cooler and fill it with the hottest water coming out of your faucet.
put the containers with milk and yogurt in it, close the cooler, and wait for 8 to 12 hours.
i always wait 12 hours because i like my yogurt on the thicker side.
refrigerate for at least 6 hours before enjoying.
it is delicious just plain, or with fresh fruit, or cocoa powder and sugar, or cinnamon, or whatever your fantasy will suggest.
1 more thing, did you know that you can substitute oil and butter for the same amount of plain yogurt in all of your baking recipes?

Heat for six minutes on high.
Stir and check the temperature.
Continue with this process, adding additional heating bursts until the temperature reaches between 175-180F.
This usually takes about 18 minutes.
The stirring prevents a skin from forming.
Let milk cool to 110-120.
Whisk in yogurt starter and powdered milk.
The powdered milk increases the protein and helps make a thicker yogurt in the Greek-style.
The milk needs to sit between 100-110 for approximately 8 hours.
Youll want to start checking it around 6 hours.
If your oven or slow cooker allow you to set a temp this low, use those.
You can also use a cooler or an oven thats preheated for a minute or two.
Leaving the inside light on can also help.
Its ready when its gelatinous and a light yellow liquid (whey) has formed on the top.
Line a colander with cheesecloth or coffee filters, and set it over a large bowl.
Gently pour the yogurt into the colander.
You dont want to break up the yogurt too much.
Allow it to drain for a couple of hours.
The addition of the milk powder and the draining of the whey are what make this Greek-style.

So mix the flour and yoghurt & water in bowl and your done !
Fast mix huh ?.
Ok divide dough into 2 or 3 bits and roll out onto flour surfice/board into thin patties.
I free form the dough and happily roll away making a natural \"see where it takes me\" shape dough.
I like that, although for more formal flatbread dining occassions I have be known to use a dinner/side plate as a template and using a rounded blunt knife carved the perfect flatbread round.
A match for any a shop aquired imitation !
Now heat a heavy skillet and cook on high heat for a minute or 2 each side.
This bread will bubble up, great !
Now how quick and easy was this to make ?.
Have flatbreads with curry, chilli con carne, spag Bol , make food wraps with them , what about adding tomato puree ,cheese and pepperoni and then grill them ?
Like little flatbread pizza's , the list of uses goes on and on !
Tip, if your mix seam a little sticky, worry not.
Add flour.
This recipe is very forgiving, pat off excess before putting onto hot griddle.
Cook all fltbreads, sometimes just before serving (And these can be made a few hours in advance and left covered) add some garlic butter and fresh corriander and grill for 30 seconds for wonderful garlic flatbreads !

wheat flours, bread, unenriched
sugars, granulated
wheat flours, bread, unenriched","directions":"Sterilize the jar in boiling water.
(Or moisten the jar and microwave for a minute.)
Leave the jar to cool down.
Water droplets on it are fine.
You can use tap water for the starter.
Put the yogurt, bread flour and sugar in the jar and mix.
See Hints for where to place the jar.
In midsummer when it's very hot, put it in a cool location in your room when you're at home, and put it in the refrigerator when you go out and your house will get very hot.
In the winter, look for a place in your house where the temperature is around 20 to 25 C. In our house in northern Hokkaido, we have the stove on all day, so near the stove is the best location for the starter.
(See Hints.)
Open the jar 2 to 3 times a day to incorporate air, and shake the jar lightly too.
You can also mix it with a clean spoon.
In 2 to 5 days you can see that it's fermenting and bubbling as shown in the photo.
(You can make bread with this, using a ratio of 1 part starter to 2 to 4 parts bread flour.)
If you aren't going to use it to bake bread right away, store it in the refrigerator.
To add to the starter: Mix in 20 g of bread flour.
Mark the top of the starter with a rubber band around the jar, so you can easily tell if it's increasing in volume.
If the starter is not fermenting, mix it up about every 5 hours.
After 5 hours, it should have doubled or tripled in volume.
In this photos it's tripled in volume 10 hours later.
(It usually does that in 5-6 hours.)
If you let the starter rest in the refrigerator overnight after it's fermented, the dough you make with it will rise more.
Bring the starter to room temperature before using it to make bread.
If the starter doesn't increase in volume as shown in step 5 - give it an energy boost.
Mix it up occasionally, and incorporate air into it.
If it still isn't moving, feed it with a little sugar or honey (about 1/3 teaspoon).
Mix it in, and then mix the starter occasionally while observing it.
If the starter does ferment as shown in step 6 and then deflates again, that's fine - it means the yeast in it is very active, and the bubbles just burst.
Try adding a little flour.
If the starter is active, it will rise up again.
To store the starter in the refrigerator as in steps 4 and 6, mix a bit less than 1/4 teaspoon of sugar in every 3 days.
You can keep it in the refrigerator for about a week.
What's an active starter?
In step 6, it will have lots of bubbles and even have a net-like texture.
If it has no air bubbles and looks slimy, it's not very active.
Try mixing in a little sugar or flour.
If it still doesn't get bubbly, use it to make foccacia, pizza crust,or crackers.
Please refer to \"For beginners: Basic bread Made with Yogurt Starter\" -.
It's an easy bread to bake with this starter.
If making a liquid starter: Mix the yogurt, water and sugar in a 10:10:1 ratio.
Leave for 3 to 4 days, and when it's bubbly it's done.
Add an equal amount of bread flour to it, and when it's doubled or tripled in volume the starter sponge is done!
If you keep feeding a liquid starter with sugar every 3 days, it will last for quite a long time.
To keep a yogurt starter sponge going: Mix the sponge with about 1/4 of its weight in water and 1/4 of its weight in bread flour and mix.
If it's not very active, feed it with a little sugar.
You can keep the sponge going like this at least 2-3 times.
You can add liquid starter instead of water.
To make bread with starter that's not too sour: In the summer: if you keep the starter in a hot location, it will ferment fast and become sour, so if the ambient temperature is above 30 C, after it has doubled or tripled in volume, put the starter in the refrigerator.
In the winter: If you let the starter ferment for a long time at a cool temperature, it also gets sour easily.
Add more sugar, and try to keep it in a warm location.
Put it on top of the refrigerator, in the boiler room, or go to bed with it in your arms.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/52292/for-beginners-yogurt-bread-starter-leaven"},{"id":"52285","title":"Creamless Creamy Carrot Soup With Herbs","ingredients":"oil, olive, salad or cooking

yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
honey
vanilla extract","directions":"You start by putting the 1/2 gallon of milk in a 2 3 quart crock pot.
Put lid on and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours.
Turn off and let sit (with lid on) for 3 hours.
After 3 hours add the live yogurt.
This can be from a previous batch or bought at the store (on the label of the container it will say live cultures).
Mix it well, until completely incorporated.
If you like your yogurt thicker, at this point you can add the dry milk powder.
Just make sure you incorporate it well.
This is also the point where you add the sugar or honey and the vanilla extract.
If you dont want to do flavored or sweetened yogurt, just leave it out.
This is THE most important part of making homemade yogurt.
Wrap the crock pot (I use a bath towel and clothes pins to cover it completely if you have a thermal travel bag, that would work too) and let it sit overnight, at least 8 hours.
In the morning you will have your very own homemade organic yogurt.
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and stored in the fridge.
Also, if you want to add fruits or granola, stir it in just before serving NOT when you add the sweetener and vanilla extract.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/50286/crock-pot-organic-yogurt"},{"id":"50260","title":"Homemade Yogurt Recipe","ingredients":"milk, buttermilk, fluid, cultured, lowfat

yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"Mix lowfat milk and powdered lowfat milk together in a heavy kettle.
Then cover and heat slowly to 180 degrees.
Using a heat distributor under the kettle and stirring occasionally will help prevent scorching.
Remove from heat and cold to about 125 to 130 degrees.
Then mix about 1/2 c. of the hot lowfat milk with 1/2 c. of plain yogurt in a small bowl.
Doing this will help assure an even distribution of the yogurt.
Then stir this mix into the kettle of lowfat milk.
Cover the kettle.
Now get a couple of heavy blankets and lay them out nice in a quiet spot on your kitchen counter.
Set the kettle in the middle of the blankets and wrap it up well so it retains the heat.
You may set a towel under the kettle if you are concerned about spills.
Don't disturb for 3-4 hrs.
then carefully check to see if it is done.
Gently touch the surface with a spoon.
If it is hard, or possibly if it is solid but has a bit of clear yellowish liquid on the surface, it is done.
Then unwrap it and cold completely before eating.
If it doesn't seem done, rewrap and let it set another hour or possibly so.
Try not to let it set too long or possibly it tends to get sour, but it is still usable even though you may not like it as well.
This recipe can be reduced in size if 1 gallon sounds like too much.
This yogurt has a much more pleasant flavor than plain yogurt from the store.
And you may use this yogurt for your starter for your next batch instead of buying another carton.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/50260/homemade-yogurt-recipe"},{"id":"50253","title":"Pine Nut and Sesame Pilaf (Armenia)","ingredients":"butter, without salt

Basically, in every 8 to 10 oz of your drink, you'll have 1+ tbs Greek Coconut Flavored Yogurt, 1 shot of rum, about a 1/4 of a cup of whole milk, a sweetner - or vanilla ice cream - and the rest is entirely up to you.
So, get stupid with this recipe girl and make it your own!
In a Magic Bullet or blender, add your ice, fruits, sweeteners and thinners to your tastes.
But, 1/2 ice and 1/2 fruits + additions is typical regardless of the size of your blender(s).
Usually, I make a blend of flavors in seperate containers.
Or, I take requests from my guests.
Once fully blended, add your alcohol and mix it in gently by hand.
Work it out to at least 1 shot per 8 - 12 oz glass.
Blueberry / Berry Banana, Banana Pineapple Cantelope & Strawberry Orange Mango flavors are pictured below.
You can pour these drinks immediately.
Your result will be the last picture in this step: #4.
Or, you can create the defined layered look pictured.
Just place your containers back in the freezer for two to three minutes.
Have them set up just slightly then, layer drinks as pictured below.
This technique will reduce any chance of early bleeding.
Garnish drinks any way you chose.
Oh, one small tip.
If you want more vibrant colors in your drinks, feel free to add a drop of food coloring to each flavor.
I know my friends have no clue I do this since they're constantly asking me how it is my drinks always look so festive.
pfft.....suckers!

In Memorandum: I regret to inform you that today, my Magic Bullet, finally bit it's own magic bullet.
So, I was forced to move on and use an ancient, more pedestrian blender.
Believe it or not, this was the exact moment he passed on.

If the doughs a little wet still, you may need to add another sprinkling of flour (although the dough will need to be a quite sticky before you knead it - to get around it sticking to your hands either keep your hands wet or rub small amounts of oil onto your hands before handling the mixture).
Dust work surface with flour and knead the dough for a minute or so to bring it together.
Roll out into a small baguette shape then cut into about 12 equal-sized pieces.
Dust a rolling pin with flour then roll the pieces of dough out into side-plate-sized rounds (making sure you still keep your work surface floured).
You can stack them between small sheets of greaseproof paper ready to cook or thrown them straight onto the hot griddle once rolled out.
Put a griddle pan on a high heat to get nice and hot.
Once its really hot, cook each flatbread for a couple of minutes each side, until slightly puffy and lightly charred youll need to do this in batches.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/49385/flatbread-plain"},{"id":"49366","title":"Breakfast Popsicles","ingredients":"yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat

cream, fluid, heavy whipping
yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"Note: Cook time is only about 30 minutes, but after that, the yogurt has to incubate for anywhere from 7 to 12 hours, depending on how firm you like your yogurt.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the milk and heavy cream to around 180 degrees, or almost to a boil.
You may stir occasionally, but stir gently.
Ive noticed that the more I stir, the tarter the resulting yogurt.
(Is tarter a word?
All of a sudden, it sounds strange to me.)
Once the milk/cream mixture reaches the desired temperature, take the pan off the heat and let it cool to 110 degrees.
You can speed this up by putting the pan in a bowl of cold or ice water.
In a small bowl, transfer a few tablespoons of the cooled milk.
Gently stir in the plain yogurt starter (you can use yogurt from your most recent batch, or just any plain, unflavored yogurt from the store).
Pour yogurt mixture back into the saucepan, and stir once or twice to evenly distribute the yogurt.
Strain the mixture and pour into individual containers, or a few larger ones.
Now the yogurt needs to incubate at about 90-110 degrees to get the culture going.
This can take anywhere from 6 to 12 hours.
You can use a yogurt maker, or:
a.
Use a cooler, wrapping the yogurt container(s) in towels.
In the cooler, leave one or two large bottles filled with hot water to keep the interior of the cooler warm.
b.
If its warm enough outside, you can simply leave the yogurt sitting out.
c. If you have a gas oven, you can leave the yogurt inside your oven with the pilot light on.
Once the yogurt is done (if it looks firm enough for you, its done but dont be jiggling it unnecessarily, else the yogurt will remain loose), move it to the refrigerator and allow it to set for a few more hours.
I make this all the time.
I like to use whole milk for my yogurt, but you can use low-fat if you prefer.
If, like me, you like your yogurt thick, you can add 3 to 5 tablespoons of powdered milk to the milk while it is heating up.
Dont try to make a thicker yogurt by adding more yogurt starter.
The yogurt needs room to grow.
Another variation I love is to replace some of the milk with coconut milk (anywhere from 1 to 2 cups, but you can do more if youd like).
Makes for an extra-decadent yogurt.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/45331/homemade-yogurt"},{"id":"45320","title":"Butternut Chicken Soup","ingredients":"squash, winter, butternut, raw

On a rimmed baking pan add the squash, onion, 1/2 teaspoon of oil, pepper, salt, cinnamon and cayenne.
Mix it all together (I used my hands so the squash and onions were totally covered).
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping half way through.
Once squash is fork tender add it to a large pot.
In a skillet set over medium heat add chicken, remaining olive oil and a dash of salt and pepper.
Cook until chicken is cooked through.
This will take about 10 minutes.
Add chicken into the pot with the squash.
Add chicken broth and nutmeg.
Turn heat to medium and cook until it reaches a boil.
Then turn off heat, taste it and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
Using an hand blender, process until creamy.
Or if you prefer you can carefully add the mixture in batches into a blender and process until smooth.
If you do this, just be-careful because it is hot!
Personally I wouldnt use the blender because I am to clumsy.
You can even use a potato masher to mash it up if you prefer.
In this case the chicken will just be chunkier, but the squash will be smooth.
Add Greek yogurt to the top (optional) and serve!

(You can test the mixture by tilting the container.
If the mixture doesn't flow freely when the container is tilted, it's ready.)
The curding process takes about 18 to 24 hours.
You'll need to check it periodically.
If some clear liquid rises to the top of the milk, stir it back in.
NOTE: If the liquid turns pink, discard the batch and start again.
Once the curd has formed, add the flour and stir until smooth.
Cover again and let stand in a warm place until the mixture is full of bubbles and has a good sour smell.

Set in a warm place and DO NOT disturb for 5 to 8 hours.
( I wrap mine in a clean towel and place on a heating pad.

For less tart yogurt let sit for 5 hours (this is for me), for a more tart yogurt let sit for 2 or 3 more hours.

yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat
salt, table","directions":"Combine cream and yogurt in a large jar or bowl.
Seal jar well and shake aggressively until combined, or whisk well if using a bowl.
Cover jar or bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let mixture sit in a warm area of your kitchen for 18 to 36 hours; it should thicken and taste rich and tangy.
Seal the jar or cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until it reaches 60 degrees, 1 to 2 hours.
If you refrigerate it longer, allow mixture to warm slightly at room temperature before proceeding.
Line a fine-mesh sieve with a double layer of cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl.
Make sure there is plenty of extra overhang of cheesecloth.
In the bowl of a food processor, add the thickened butter mixture and process on high until the yellow curds begin to separate from the buttermilk, 2 to 3 minutes.
It will have the appearance of liquidy cottage cheese.
Slowly pour the buttermilk through the mesh sieve and then dump the butter curds in.
Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing buttermilk to drip through.
Gather the ends of the cheesecloth up and around the butter, pushing the curds down and into a ball.
Twist the cheesecloth and squeeze the ball to extract as much buttermilk as possible.
You will be left with a butterball.
Pour the buttermilk into a separate container and reserve for another use.
Place the butterball in the empty bowl.
Be sure to squeeze out all excess butter from the cheesecloth.
Pour 1/3 cup of ice water over the butter and, using a spatula, wash the butter, folding it over itself and pressing down to extract the extra buttermilk.
Drain off the milky liquid and discard it; repeat this process until the liquid is clear, 4 to 6 times.
The butter will start to harden; at that point your hands may work better than the spatula.
Place the butter on a clean kitchen towel and pat lightly to remove excess moisture.
Knead a few times with your hands and pat dry again; this will help extend its storage life.
Sprinkle the finished butter with salt and knead a few more times to combine.
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper, or two if you would like to divide the batch in half, and place the butter on the paper.
Form the butter into a log and then roll it up in the paper and twist the ends to seal.
Make sure the log has a uniform thickness throughout.
Refrigerate until ready to use.

Once the mixture starts to get hard on the edges, maybe after 30 minutes (depending on your freezer), transfer back to the food processor and blend for a few seconds, then transfer back to the container and to the freezer.
Repeat this a couple more times as the mixture becomes harder and harder, about 4 times in total.
Once you process it for the last time, transfer it to a freezer container you would like to store it in, covered, and keep frozen.
Let the mixture become hard again before serving (which will be 2-3 hours after you`re started making it), but keep in mind that it`s best eaten the next day as it`s had the time to really settle.
Enjoy!
EXTRA TIPS: I use a 500g container of Liberte`s thick Mediterranean coconut yogurt, which is kind of like greek yogurt, but it`s high in fat due to the coconut.
*****You can still make this without a food processor and just a spatula, but it will be a bit less creamy.
Just take out the mixture as described above but, instead of using a food processor, use a spatula of some sort and beat the mixture until it`s well mixed and soft again, and continue until it`s done.
*****You can get coconut oil for cheap at Asian and Indian grocery stores - Health food stores charge a lot more for theirs.
*****Please keep in mind that the amount of time it takes to make this recipe depends on how cold your freezer is, how big your plastic container is that you harden your mixture in between processing, and how often you process it in your food processor.
It will take at least 3 hours before it`s ready to serve and eat, but longer is better.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/41026/tropical-frozen-yogurt"},{"id":"41021","title":"Broccoli Apple Soup","ingredients":"oil, canola

METHOD
Cherry Cranberry Filling: In a medium sauce pan heat cherries, cranberries, water and ginger over medium high heat.
When you hear the fruit start to sizzle and cranberries start to pop reduce heat to medium.
Stir a few times watching mixture, add more water if needed.
Cook about 8 minutes until the fruit is saucy but still a bit lumpy.
Take off the heat and add vanilla and desired sweetener to taste.
Oat Crisp Topping: Combine the oats, coconut oil, salt and dried cherries in a bowl.
Assembly: Preheat oven to 350 F with the rack in the middle.

Turn off heat and let cool to luke warm.
Meanwhile put your yogurt in a small bowl and let come to room temperature.
When your jars are sterilized quickly place the empty jars into the cooler and close the lid.
This will keep the jars warm and warm up the incubator.
When the milk has cooled down remove 1/2 cup and whisk it into the yogurt.
Return the mixture to the pan.

Take your jars out of the cooler and replace the lid.
Transfer yogurt to jars and put their lids/caps on.

Add as much or as little ice as you want to get the consistency you desire.
I like em thick, so I do roughly 2 cups.

Add yogurt and mix together well.
Pour into a serving dish or several small ramekins.
Sprinkle the sugar over the surface of the mixture in a thick, even layer: Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
The sugar will dissolve and leave a toffee-like layer on top, and you may end up with some liquid on the bottom: Serve chilled and enjoy.
General notes: How to Prepare the Yogurt.
Line strainer with cheesecloth and set over a medium to large bowl.
(The bowl should support the strainer so it doesn't touch the bottom.)
Put the yogurt in the lined strainer, cover loosely, and let it drain 6 hours to overnight in the refrigerator.
Discard the liquid and use the strained yogurt as directed.
If you decide to skip the step of straining the yogurt-- don't.
With the amount of liquid in the dessert then, the'toffee layer' becomes more of a'dark sugar-water layer below the yogurtness'.

Makes two quarts/liters.
A thermometer for liquids.
A batch jar, or dishwasher-safe plastic container, with lid.
Insulation.
2 U.S. quarts/2 liters milk, any kind including powdered (3 cups powder for 2 quarts).
(2 tsps gelatin optional).
4 Tbsps yoghurt for the starter.
SCALD MILK.
Pour the milk into a pot to heat until it just comes to a boil, about two minutes (82C/180F).
Let cool down in cold water to about 45C/112F To measure properly stir the milk, then leave the thermometer in about 30 seconds.
BATCH JAR.
Prerinse with boiling water.
Add the yoghurt starter to the cooled milk and mix well until completely dissolved.
Pour into the batch jar and cap.
INCUBATE.
The yoghurt bacteria, like yeast, is a live organism, to be kept warm and out of drafts.
I've used a small foam cooler, an insulated drinks cooler, a thick old small quilt successfully.
Let stand, wrapped, until it curdles, usually about 3 - 5 hours.
REFRIGERATE.
Just put it in (no stirring needed) for about 8 hours before serving.
Keeps about 3 - 4 weeks.
COMMENTS.
The creamy consistency and taste is amazing when you're used to store-bought.
Save 4 Tbsps for the next starter batch.
Add whatever you fancy to eat--fruit, honey, crumbles, cereals.
My family used to go through a whole batch in a couple of days.
I substitute it in many recipes that call for mayonnaise, sour cream, creme fraiche, salad dressing (adding a squeeze of lemon and herbs).
A friend commented she now has yoghurt coming out the wazoo but she's trying it for frozen yoghurt to take to work.
I've never tried microwaving to scald the milk but then, back when, I didn't have a microwave either.

Boil for 2 minutes, or until the milk is very curdled.
Line a large mesh strainer with a damp kitchen towel or several layers of damp cheesecloth, making sure the cloth extends well over the sides of the strainer.
Place the strainer over a deep bowl and pour the milk through the strainer.
Drain 30 minutes, making sure the strainer does not rest in the liquid.
Gather up the loose ends of the cloth and twist gently to extract more liquid.
Transfer the curds to a bowl and stir in the salt and nutmeg.
Discard the liquid (whey).
The cheese will keep, refrigerated, for 3 days.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/34141/homemade-rich-fresh-ricotta-cheese"},{"id":"34135","title":"Vanilla Frozen Yogurt","ingredients":"yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat

Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions.
To make Rich Vanilla Frozen Yogurt, substitute 3 cups (720 g) of strained yogurt (see below) or Greek-style yogurt for the plain whole-milk yogurt and reduce the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup (150 g).
Yes, you can have yogurt and granola for dessert.
Just top a scoop of Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with Honey-Crunch Granola (page 186).
Draining yogurt allows the whey to run off, leaving you with very thick yogurt with a higher concentration of butterfat, which makes a smoother, creamier frozen yogurt thats naturally more tangy.
I like both, and my choice on any given day depends on my mood and what Im serving alongside.
So when a little extra richness is called for, use these instructions to make strained yogurt, which you can substitute cup for cup for the yogurt called for in any of the frozen yogurt recipes in this book.
(I do give two different recipes for vanilla frozen yogurt, one using strained yogurt and one using unstrained yogurt.)
To make 1 cup (240 g) of strained yogurt, line a mesh strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth.
Then scrape 16 ounces or 2 cups (480 g) of plain whole-milk yogurt into the cheesecloth.
Gather the ends and fold them over the yogurt, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
You can also use Greek-style yogurt, which is much higher in fat than plain yogurt, in place of strained yogurt in all of the frozen yogurt recipes.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/34135/vanilla-frozen-yogurt"},{"id":"34118","title":"Hurry Curry","ingredients":"yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat

milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d","directions":"Other Tools: a large heavy bottomed Dutch oven or stockpot with lid and an instant read thermometer.
To begin, take your 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt (either store bought or from a previous batch) and allow it to set out at room temperature.
Next were going to heat the milk to 185 degrees.
It MUST reach 185.
Use a thermometer to keep it accurate.
Do this over medium heat and whisk often, so that it doesnt scorch.
Remove from the heat and allow the pot of the milk to drop to around 110-120 degrees.
Once you reach this temperature, take your 1/3 cup of yogurt starter and whisk it into the warm milk.
Whisk away folks!
Make sure its well combined.
At this point, youre going to cover the pot of milk with a lid.
You now want to allow the yogurt starter to work...so you want a warm (not hot) draft free place to set the mixture.
I have found that placing the covered pot in the oven, with the oven light on, provides an ideal environment.
Another option that I have used successfully is to put the pot on an insulated casserole carrier, place warming pads around it, and then cover it with a blanket.
However, the oven light wins for me as far as convenience.
Now all we have to do is....wait.
Yup, stick that baby in the oven or under the blanket and let the yogurt bacteria do their thing.
I usually let my milk sit, undisturbed for about 10-12 hours.
I have found it works well to heat your milk in the evening, put it to bed in the oven, and by the next morning....your yogurt is nearly ready to go.
As soon as you uncover the yogurt, youll notice a light watery substance on the top of it.
This is the whey.
I usually pour off the whey that is on the top.
After that I take a large strainer and place it atop a large bowl.
Then line the strainer with a muslin towel or several layers of cheesecloth.
Pour the yogurt into the cloth, then twist the ends up around it so that the cloth is tight around the blog of sloppy yogurt.
Stick the whole mess in the refrigerator, so it can cool as it strains.
I usually let it drain 1-2 hours, depending how thick you like your finished yogurt to be (and once or twice Ill take it from the fridge and dump out the whey collected in the bottom).
And then...all thats left is scraping it into clean jars and refrigerating it.
A gallon of milk should net you close to 4 pint jars of yogurt.
Layer with jam and granola and fruit for a parfait...Top your morning waffles with this yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup...or even use in place of sour cream in savory dishes!","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/32611/greek-yogurtfrom-scratch"},{"id":"32609","title":"Pumpkin Date Biscuits","ingredients":"water, bottled, generic

Stir in the yogurt till the dough is too stiff for a spoon, then knead it in the bowl till it holds together well, adding more flour if necessary.
Turn it out on a floured surface and continue kneading for about 5 minutes till the dough feels smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and put it in an oiled bowl, covered with a towel, to rest for an hour or longer.
Take the dough out and cut it into 10 equal pieces.
Form each into a ball and press the balls flat into round discs.
Heat a large frying pan or griddle, either seasoned cast iron or a good non-stick finish.
Heat your oven to about 500 and have the broiler on (this is how the original recipe states it - I know with my oven it's either 500 degree oven OR the broiler, but you get the idea.
Take 1 piece of dough at a time and roll it out on a floured surface till it is about 8-10 inches across and less than 1/4 inch thick.
Lay it on the hot griddle and cook it over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes (I don't think mine took that long).
It will puff up in places or all over, and there will be some blackish-brown spots on the bottom.
Slide a spatula under the naan and transfer it to the oven, directly onto the rack, for a minute or two, just till it finishes puffing up into a balloon and begins to color lightly on top.
Remove naan from the oven and brush it lightly with melted butter if you like.
Continue this way with all the dough, stacking the breads into a napkin-lined basket.
Serve the breads hot, fresh from the oven, or let them cool and wrap them up.
To reheat, wrap them in aluminum foil, in packets of 4 or 5 breads and put them in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/31321/naan"},{"id":"31293","title":"Pineapple Lemon Smoothie","ingredients":"lemonade, frozen concentrate, white, prepared with water

vanilla extract
honey
yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"Turn on the light in oven and leave on.
Measure and pour milk into a medium saucepan.
When it is warm, add sugar, and vanilla extract.
Gently stir.
(you can taste it now to see if you like the flavor and adjust to your liking)
Heat on medium (7 mark on conventional stove) until just before boiling point.
Stir frequently.
If you have a candy thermometer, the temperature should reach to 175-180 degrees after you stir it.
Turn off heat and remove from the stove and allow to cool.
If a skin forms, remove it.
Allow milk to cool until temperature drops to between 110 and 120F.
This would feel like the temperature of a baby's warm bath water.
(place a drop on the underside of your wrist to check temperature if you don't have a candy thermometer.)
Another way to tell if it's cooled enough, is to put your hand on the side of the pot.
If you can keep your hand there without it burning you, it's cool enough.
In a measuring cup or small bowl mix a bit of the cooled milk and the starter yogurt together.
Add to the rest of the milk and stir well.
You may use yogurt from a previous batch of your own homemade yogurt.
Pour milk into a large glass or ceramic bowl or container.
Cover container with a clean hand towel and place in the warm oven and leave the light on.
Allow to incubate for 10 hours.
(DO NOT OPEN OVEN DOOR DURING THIS TIME)
After the 10 hours, chill the yogurt.
The longer you leave it in the oven will result in the yogurt becoming more tart.
It is your choice to strain off the whey or stir it back in.
Straining makes the yogurt thicker and less tart resulting in Greek yogurt.
To strain, very carefully pour yogurt into a cheesecloth-lined strainer which has been placed over a deep bowl.
Let yogurt sit in the strainer in the fridge until the yogurt is reduced by approximately half, or to the desired thickness.
Time will vary according to the thickness of the yogurt out of the oven and your own preference regarding texture and sourness.
Tip the strainer or stir very gently if whey has pooled on top while straining.
*(see note)
Empty whey from bowl and pour yogurt out of strainer back into the original bowl.

The dough is going to be sticky at first but after about 5-10 minutes of kneading it, it will stop sticking.
In a bowl, coat the sides with butter and put the dough in it and cover it with plastic wrap.
Leave it in a warm spot and let the dough expand till it's 3-4 times larger.

How to check on the rising dough; once it's 3-4 times larger, press down in the center with your index finger coated in flour.
Once you press down, and it doesn't return, it has finished rising.
Take the dough and put it on a work surface.
With your hands, punch the dough while spreading it out, and then cut the dough into 14 portions.
From the cut side, take the dough and while pulling the surface tightly, make it into a ball.
As they are pictured above, put them in a bowl or a plastic bag, wring out a damp towel over them on let them sit for 20 minutes.
Once they have rested, using your hand or a rolling pin, press them again and make them into a ball again while stretching them out.
Put the dough balls on a baking sheet and cover them with plastic wrap or a plastic bag.
Under the sheet, put a bowl of hot water and let it rest on top till they expand 2-3 times larger.
You don't have to use the water, but if you don't, let them rise gradually.

milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d","directions":"Safety check: yogurt cultures are a mix of bacteria developed for yogurt making.
Since you will be growing bacteria, make sure it stays the good kind by remembering food safety cleanliness rules - boil all equipment or run it through your dishwasher if you can and always make sure to keep contaminated or unwashed items from touching any of the equipment, milk or cultures you are working with at all times.
Mix the dry and liquid milk together and heat at least to 190F Hold at that temperature for 10 minutes to give the proteins a chance to do their thing.
Be careful not to ruin the batch by burning it on the bottom of the pot - you can use a double boiler if you have one.
Cool the milk mix to at least 120F but not below 100F You can reheat the milk mix if it goes below 100F.
Put part or all of the cooked milk mix in a blender - depending on the size of your blender - with the tablespoon of Siggis (make sure you taste a bit of the Siggis if you haven't tasted it yet so you know what your results should taste like - and keep any extra in your freezer for your next batch) and blend well - 10 seconds should do it.
Mix with any of the extra milk if your blender is not big enough to hold all the mixed cooked milk and Siggis.
Pour the cooled, mixed and blended milk into 8 oz cups and place in your yogurt-maker (if you have one) and start it or put the cups in a cooler with a large bottle (quart or more) of hot water - at least 140F Be sure the cups do not touch the water bottle.
If the water is too hot, it will cook the yogurt rather than allow the yogurt culture to do it's thing.
After 5 - 8 hours, check for firmness and if it is firm (will not jiggle if jostled), put in your fridge.
Taste your new yogurt after it has had time to cool down in your fridge.
(I have had yogurts firm up in as little as 3 hours and remember that the longer it continues in the yogurt maker or cooler, the more tangy your yogurt becomes.
Please note that the \"cooking time\" shown here is really the culture time and it can vary from a couple-3 hours to 8 or more hours, with the temperature having the greatest effect on the length of time to complete.
Too hot and it will cook - no yogurt; too cold and it will take forever/never - no yogurt.
That is why we recommend a temperature controlled yogurt-maker of your own choosing.
And the best news of all -- once you do this, you can make just about any kind of yogurt you want to - just buy either the active yogurt cultures (you can find them online) or buy a plain yogurt of the type you want with active cultures and make it according to the instructions in this recipe.

milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"Pour the milk into a pot.
Heat the milk until it is almost boiling, stirring with a metal spoon.
You'll see small bubbles form around the edges and steam beginning to rise.
Check the temperature- it should be around 180-185F You can use a candy thermometer if you want.
Remember to heat slowly and stir often to prevent scorching.
Allow the milk to cool at room temperature.
Stir frequently in order to accurately check the temperature.
In Lebanon, they cool it till they can stick their pinky finger in for 10 seconds, but it's better to use a thermometer.
It should reach 112F.
Don't proceed until the milk is below 120F(49C), and don't allow it to go below 90F (32C).
105-110 (41-43) is optimal.
Add nonfat dry milk, if desired.
Nonfat dry milk will thicken and increase the nutritional content of the yogurt.
Add the starter.
The first time you make your own yogurt, use store-bought plain yogurt.
Be certain it has \"active cultures\" on the label.
For each quart of your cooled milk, you'll need 2 tablespoons of yogurt.
When I make it using a gallon of milk, I add one whole single serving container.
Let the starter yogurt sit at room temperature while you are waiting for the milk to cool.
This will prevent it from being too cold when you add it inches.
Allow the yogurt bacteria to incubate.
Keep the yogurt warm to encourage bacteria growth (between 105F and 122F (41C and 49C) is ideal).
I just put the lid on the pot and wrap it in heavy towels, but you can use your oven, just make sure the thermometer is accurate.
You'll need to use your candy thermometer and perhaps turn your oven on and then off again periodically or keep the oven light on to warm.
Most ovens don't have set temperatures this low.
To check the oven temperature, place your thermometer into a bowl of water inside the oven.
Wait until the yogurt is thick, about the consistency of pudding.
Important: Keep the yogurt still during this process.
Jiggling won't ruin it, but it makes it take a lot longer.
It can take anywhere from 8-14 hours to incubate.
The longer it incubates, the thicker and more tangy the final yogurt will be.
Refrigerate the yogurt.
Place the yogurt in your fridge for several hours before serving.
It will keep for 1-2 weeks.
If you are going to use some of it as starter, use it within 5-7 days, so that the bacteria still have growing power.
Whey, a thin yellow liquid, will form on the top.
You can pour it off or stir it in before eating your yogurt.
Don't get discouraged if it turns out a little runny your first time (mine did).
You can always put a cheese cloth in a strainer to drain some of the excess fluid.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/28724/leban-yogurt"},{"id":"13617","title":"Cereal and a Smoothie","ingredients":"milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d

(Note: If your peaches are firm, you should be able to peel them with a sharp vegetable peeler.
If they are too soft, and ripe to withstand the pressure of a peeler, you'll need to blanch and shock them before peeling.
).
Using small spoon, scoop out and discard dark flesh from pit area.
Cut each half into 4 wedges.
Gently toss peaches and sugar together in a large bowl; let stand for 30 minutes, tossing several times.
Drain peaches in colander set over large bowl.
Whisk 1/4 cup of drained juice (discard extra), cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt together in small bowl.
Toss peach juice mixture with peach slices and transfer to 8-inch-square glass baking dish.
Bake until peaches begin to bubble around edges, about 10 minutes.
FOR THE TOPPING:.
While peaches are baking, pulse flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in food processor to combine.
Scatter butter over and pulse until mixture resembles course meal, about ten 1-second pulses.
Transfer to medium bowl; add yogurt and toss with rubber spatula and cohesive dough is formed.
(Don't over-mix dough or biscuits will be tough.
).
Break dow into 6 evenly sized but roughly shaped mounds and set aside.
TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:.
After peaches have baked 10 minutes, remove peaches from oven and place dough mounds on top, spacing them at least 1/2 inch apart ( they should not touch).
Sprinkle each mound with portion of remaining 1 teaspoon sugar.
Bake until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling, 16 to 18 minutes.

Alternatively, of course, a bowl with a cover is fine.
Coat the beef evenly in the yogurt mixture and marinade for 8-24 hours.
Wipe or rinse most of the marinade off of the beef and pat mostly dry -- you want a little bit of marinade to stay on, for browning, but not a solid layer, which would burn while the meat steamed under it.
In a large nonstick pan, heat the olive oil on high heat.
When it starts to smoke very slightly, put in three or four pieces of meat -- don't crowd the pan here!
-- and brown on both sides, about one-two minutes per side.
Rest on a plate in a very low oven while you cook the rest of the meat in batches.
Cut the rested meat into bite-sized pieces; again, a good pair of kitchen shears makes this much easier.

Just as it begins to bubble, remove from heat and dollop in about 6 tablespoons of plain, live yoghurt.
Whack up the heat on the stove, return the pan and stir gently, watching as curds begin to form.
Continue to stir until the separated liquid becomes quite thin and takes on a slight green tinge to it.
Drape a large muslin cloth over a colander in the sink and pour the mixture into it, allowing the liquid to drain through.
It doesnt look very appetizing, I know.
Twirl the muslin cloth over the top of the curds and leave on a flat surface with a heavy weight over the top of it (I put it on a plastic chopping board on the drainer with a granite mortar over the top).
Leave for about an hour, after which youll be left with a solid cheese-like thing.
Can be cubed and lightly fried in oil (wear an apron as it spits!)
and added to stir-fries or curries, the creaminess of the paneer is a delicious contrast to the spices.
We frequently have this in a spicy soup made with tom yum paste and tomatoes, onions and fresh coriander.

sweetener, syrup, agave
vanilla extract
yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"Make sure all of your cooking implements are very clean before you start.
You will be using a medium sized pot, a large pyrex (or other non-metal) bowl, and some measuring tools and stirrers.
It also helps to have a thermometer.
I usually pour boiling water over them.
Stir the agave into the milk, and put it on the stove at medium heat.
Slowly add the milk powder to the milk, stirring constantly so as to avoid scalding.
Add the vanilla and stir well right before the milk reaches the boiling point.
When the milk just begins to bubble, or alternately, when it hits 210 degrees F (just below boiling), remove it from the heat and transfer to a non-metal bowl (something with thick sides works best).
Let the milk sit until it's just cool enough to hold your finger in for fifteen seconds (or until it hits 105 degrees F).
Your 1/4 cup of yogurt (starter) should be at room temperature.
Add enough of the milk to your starter to mix it into a thin liquid, and add this back to the milk, making sure it's stirred in very well.
Put plastic wrap over the bowl, wrap it in a small towel, and place it somewhere warm where it won't be disturbed (I use a rice cooker on the warm setting).
Let it sit for 6-12 hours, making sure not to peek or otherwise move the bowl.
The time will vary depending on how warm it is where the yogurt is left to ferment, but as a rule, warmer spots will take less time and cooler spots will take more, but leaving the yogurt anywhere warmer than 110 degrees should be avoided, as it may kill the active cultures.
For me, nine hours works best.
When it has finished fermenting, the plastic will puff out and your yogurt will be sitting in a yellowish syrup.
This is just the whey, and it is up to you whether or not you want to drain it off.
Place the yogurt in the fridge and let it get cold before serving.
Reduce the milk powder to 3 tbsp and omit the agave and vanilla for plain yogurt that can be used in recipes.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/27498/homemade-thick-vanilla-yogurt"},{"id":"27422","title":"Sun-Dried Tomato Dipping Sauce","ingredients":"yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat

Notes:.
You can buy most frozen fruit, but not bananas.
Peel them and break them in thirds or quarters by hand, and put in a freezer bag.
Don't slice them into small pieces or else they will stick together.
I recommend peeling and cutting up ripe mangoes instead of buying them frozen.
Be sure to break them apart in the freezer bag a few hours after putting them in the freezer.
This recipe is low-sugar because of the Stevia and the plain yogurt.
If you're not concerned about sugar, you can use flavored yogurt and/or honey in place of Stevia.
Flax seed meal adds fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids.

Place the yogurt into the filters, spreading over as large an area as possible.
Place colander over a large dish to drain for 24 hrs.
(chill) The watery whey will drain out of the yogurt, leaving a cheeselike substance similar in consistency to cream cheese.
The longer the yogurt drains, the firmer it will become as more whey drains out.
(Although many people drain it only for 24 hrs, I like to start early and let it drain a little longer for firmer consistency.)
And though it's not essential, I think I get better results if I replace the coffee filters once or possibly twice during the process
(the yogurt will be becoming drier and firmer and is usually easy for me to remove it from one filter to the next.
If you choose to do this, you will notice less and less whey draining out each time as the yogurt becomes
\"cheese\".

Heat until it's at 180 degrees; keep track of the time as you'll never have to check the temperature again after you make it the first time!
In my crockpot, it takes about 3 hours on high.
Turn off the crockpot and let milk cool to 1110-120 degrees (again; time it).
In my crockpot, this takes about 3 1/2 hours.
Scoop a cup or so of your warm milk into a bowl or a large measuring cup.
Add the 1/2 cup starter yogurt (probably a good idea to let that warm up to room temperature though I don't always bother).
Whisk the milk and yogurt and then whisk all into the crockpot.
\"Swaddle\" the crockpot in blankets or towels to keep the heat inches Let it sit for 8-12 hours.
That's it!
Notes: You can take 1/2 cup of this yogurt and put it in a baggie or another container.
Place it in the freezer.
Pull it out when you start your next batch of yogurt and it'll be defrosted and ready to use as your next starter.
I put the finished yogurt into wide-mouth quart jars, and bought a wide-mouth funnel on line to make that job easier.
You can make thicker yogurt by draining some of the whey out (use a coffee filter placed in a small sieve or cheesecloth).
If you drain long enough, it thickens to cream cheese consistency.
You may have to purchase yogurt every 5th or 6th time.
For some reason, the starter tends to lose its potency.
I add a little bit of dried milk to my regular milk to increase the calcium (plus I think it thickens it a bit more).

Preheat oven to 400˚F.
Put the butter in the microwave-safe bowl, and heat 15 seconds at a time until mostly melted.
Mix farina, sugar and butter in a bowl.
Mix the baking soda and baking powder, then stir into the yogurt in another bowl.
When mixed, add it to the farina mixture and blend together.
Grease the baking pan with a little shortening and pour the batter inches (As an option, you can drizzle the top with 2 tablespoons of yogurt.
).
Using a knife, score the top of the batter into medium-sized rectangles -- or to be a bit fancier, try diamond shapes!
(You'll probably make 12-16 pieces.)
Place a blanched almond in the middle of each piece.
Using your oven mitts, put the pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until it's brown on top.
When the cake is done, it out of the oven.

lemon juice, raw","directions":"Put all the ingredients except for the ones marked in a bread machine, and select the \"dough\" program.
Leave it up to the machine until the 1st rising is complete!
Divide the dough into equal pieces (the number is up to you), round off each piece and rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
THE dough is rather sticky, but keep working on it!
Deflate the dough again, and round off each portion once more.
Put the dough balls in the baking pan, mist with water and leave for the 2nd rising, about 40 to 50 minutes.
Put the pan in a bag or something to prevent the dough from drying out.
I use a shower cap that I got at a 100 yen shop.
When the dough has doubled in volume and has filled up the pan, it's done rising.
I start preheating the oven 6-7 minutes before the dough has finished rising, since that's how long it takes my oven to heat up.
Use that as a guideline.
Bake for 10 minutes at 180C, then lower the temperature to 170C and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Adjust the baking times to your oven.
Make the icing with the ingredients.
I brushed it on with a pastry brush, but you can also drizzle it on - it wil look very nice.
Adjust the consistency of the icing to taste.
When the bread has cooled down a bit, brush with the icing.
The amounts given will just cover the top of the loaf.
If you don't work fast it will be hard to brush the icing on.
Incidentally, my oven has a turntable, and I baked the bread in a frying pan with a removable handle.
Since the oven has a lot of space between the ceiling and the top of the bread, the bread came out in the color shown in the top photo.
If it looks like the top of your loaf is browning too fast, cover with aluminum foil.
These are handy to have baking tools.
From the top right going counterclockwise: a notepad to make notes; a calculator; shortening in a tube; an oil spreader; clothespins; protective gloves; a silicon pastry brush; an ice cream scooper; a stick to mix up egg; a shower cap.
I try to adapt all kinds of tools.
Attention: If you use yogurt that's been in the refrigerator for a while, it may become watery and hard.
This makes a big difference in the dough.
I used yogurt that was just bought.
If the dough is too stiff, adjust with more yogurt or milk.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/23201/yogurt-pull-apart-bread"},{"id":"23142","title":"Greek Yogurt Blueberry Smoothie","ingredients":"water, bottled, generic

In a pan, heat the milk to 90-100 deg.F.
on thermometer.
Remove from heat and stir in yogurt.
Drain water from container, wipe dry, and pour in milk-yogurt mixture.
Cover tightly; if using a screw-top jar with a metal lid, place a double layer of plastic wrap over mouth of jar before screwing on lid.
Let stand in a warm place (80-90 deg F.).
After 18-24 hours, starter should be about the consistency of yogurt - a curd forms and mixture doesn't flow readily when container is slightly tilted.
(It may also form smaller curds suspended in clear liquid).
If some clear liquid has risen to top of milk, simply stir it back in .
However, if liquid has turned light pink, milk is beginning to break down - discard and start again.
After curd has formed, gradually stir in flour until smooth.
Cover tightly and let stand in a warm place (80-90 deg F.) until mixture is full of bubbles and has a good sour smell (2-5 days).
If clear liquid forms during this time, stir it back into starter.
But if liquid is pink, spoon out and discard all but 1/4 cup of starter, then blend in a mixture of 1 cup each warm skim milk or low-fat milk (90-100 deg F.) and flour.
Cover tightly and let stand again in a warm place until bubbly and sour smelling.
To store, cover and refrigerate.
Always bring your starter to room temperature before using it (this takes 4 to 6 hours).
To maintain an ample supply, replenish your starter every time you use it with equal amounts of warm milk and flour.
Use the same type of milk and flour to maintain consistency.
Cover tightly and let stand in a warm place for several hours or until bubbly; then cover and refrigerate.
If you bake regularly, your starter will stay lively.
If you don't bake often, it's best to discard about half your starter and replenish it with warm milk and flour about every 2 months.","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/22990/sunset-sourdough-starter"},{"id":"22916","title":"Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie","ingredients":"milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d

Note #1: To proof your starter, feed it with 1 cup flour (preferably multigrain in this case) and 1 cup water, then let it sit overnight or up to 12 hours, covered.
This is what develops the characteristic sour flavor and the longer the proof, the sourer it will be.
If you start with 1/2 cup of starter and feed it 1 cup each of water and flour, you should have enough to make your bread and save the rest to start your next batch.
Note #2: To use a baking stone, allow your loaf to rise on parchment paper, placed on a board.

Cover bowl opening with plastic wrap.
Wrap a big blanket around the bowl and place it aside to set overnight or for 10-12 hours.

yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"Heat the milk to 185-190 degrees F in a non-aluminum cooking pot.
(I use a slow cooker on the high setting and just track the temp on a candy thermometer It takes about an hour and a half to do it this way, but it doesn't scald.
If you do this, you will need to pour the milk off into another vessel for the next step.
).
When the milk hits 185-190 degrees F, put the whole pot into a cold water bath where the water comes up on the outside of the pot to the same level the milk is at on the inside.
Watch it closely because the temp will drop like a stone.
When your milk hits 120 -125 degrees F on the thermometer, remove it from the waterbath.
Whisk in the yogurt with active cultures.
Put the cover on the pot (sometimes I pour it off into jars) and set it somewhere guaranteed to be over 100 degrees for 8 hours.
(Some folks use a slow cooker with a warming setting, some use an evaporator, others wrap the pot or jars in a heating pad -- there's a lot of ways you can do this.
In Texas, I just put it outside.
).
After 8-9 hours, your yo should have gurted (It'll look thick, you'll be able to see a separation of the whey from the milk -- etc.)
If your yo hasn't gurted, this means your culture either didn't take or died in the process.
To be sure you can leave it a bit longer but after 10 hours that yo is as gurted as it's going to get (if it doesn't work, the milk that isn't yogurt can be used in cooking.
).
If the yo has gurted, pour it into cheesecloth, potato sack cloth or muslin and strain the whey off with a collander.
Then tie the ends of the cloth together and hang it over the sink to allow the whey to drip off even more.
For store bought style yogurt, draining the whey takes about 15-30 minutes.
For Greek style yogurt, let it sit for about an hour to an hour and a half.
For, my favorite, which is roughly the consistency of smooth ricotta, let it go for two hours.

Yep, that was hard, huh?
Okay, so this makes a lot of frozen yogurt.
Probably more than your ice cream maker can handle at one time.
It was about twice the amount my Cuisinart could handle.
So, I poured half of the prepared ingredients mixture into the ice cream maker and reserved the other half in the fridge until the first half was done.
I didnt even have to refreeze the bowl, it had enough oomph to freeze it all.
Snazzy, eh?
I love Cuisinart.
So, working quickly, spoon the frozen yogurt into a freezable container and store in the freezer until the next half of yogurt is done.
Also, I suppose you could reserve the other half of the unfrozen liquid in the frig until you were ready for it.
It took about 25-30 minutes for it to freeze in the ice cream maker.
Once all your yogurt is frozen, resist the temptation to eat it all and freeze it for several hours to let it ripen and finish freezing.
I just ended up leaving mine overnight.
The next day it was utter frozen yogurt perfection.
Its rich, its creamy, its tangy .
.
.
like the kind of yummy that makes you question why you ever thought it wasnt as good as ice cream.
Feel free to use this as a base for other flavor extracts or additions.

yogurt, greek, plain, nonfat","directions":"Prepare a place for the paneer to drain, placing a colander in the sink and lining it with 4 thicknesses of cheesecloth or a clean linen kitchen towel.
Ina large (at least 3 quart) saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over high heat, stirring almost constantly to prevent it from burning or boiling over.
As soon as the milk comes to the boil, add the yogurt and sir gently.
The milk will soon foam up into soft clouds and then break into thick curds of cheese floating in a thin, faintly greenish liquid called whey.
Remove from the heat and pour the contents of the saucepan into the cheesecloth-lined colander placed in the sink to drain away the whey.
When the cloth is cool enough to handle, bring its corners together and squeeze the cheese into a ball, twisting the top portion of the cloth to force out more liquid and then securing it with a rubber band.
Suspend the cheese from the faucet and let it hang over the sink for about 30 minutes to drain off any remaining whey.
Now press the cheese to make it firm enough to cut.
To do this, place the wrapped lump of cheese on its side in a pie pan or frying pan, and place another pie pan or frying pan of equal or smaller size on top of it, or cover the cheese with a plate.
Balance a weighty object, such as a teapot filled with water, on the pan or plate to compress the cheese.
As you can see in the photos, I put the wrapped cheese in a bowl, placed a smaller bowl on top of that and a large, full bottle of wine into that bowl.
Press for 30 minutes more.
Carefully unwrap the pressed cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, transfer it to a container and seal tight.
Refrigerate until needed.

Although artisan bread can easily be made by mixing it in a bowl with a large spoon.
In the mixer's bowl, whisk together the water, milk, yeast, salt, yogurt and honey.
Add the flours, about 1/3 at a time, while mixing on low to medium speed.
When all of the flour has been added and combined, turn the mixer to medium and let it knead the dough for a minute or two.
Transfer to a larger bowl that has been coated lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cover the container loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, leaving some way for air to escape.
Allow it to rest at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until the dough rises and collapses.
The dough can be used immediately after its initial rise, though it's much easier to handle when cold.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
It will last for 7 days, when refrigerated.
At this point it can also be frozen.
I'll typically freeze the dough in 1/4 pound portions and thaw in the refrigerator overnight before the day I'd like to use it.
Note: This batch of dough makes enough for sixteen 1/4 pound portions.
Each 1/4 pound portion will make 2 pieces of naan, 1 pizza crust, or 1 flatbread.
On baking day -- punch down a 1/4 pound portion of dough and divide into two equal balls.
Using a rolling-pin, roll each piece of dough into an oval shape.
The dough should be about 6-8 inches long and about 1/4-inch thick, but no thinner.
Repeat this method with the rest of the dough, or as much as you'd like to make.
Warm a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat (you want a hot pan).
Brush both sides of the naan with olive oil or clarified butter.
Place the Naan on the hot skillet, cover and bake for 1 minute, until you see bubbles starting to form.
Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side until large toasted spots appear on the underside.
Place the naan in a tea towel-lined dish.
Repeat with the rest of the naan.

Add flour and, using a wooden spoon, stir mixture until just combined and all the flour is incorporated into the dough.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rest about 2 hours until it rises and then collapses or flattens on top.
Once collapsed, use dough immediately or transfer dough to a lidded, non-airtight container and store for up to 7 days in the fridge (see note), or 3 weeks in the freezer.
If you are going to freeze it, divide into four 1/2-pound portions and freeze separately.
Once frozen, thaw dough in refrigerator overnight before using.
On baking day, heat grill to high for 5 to 10 minutes, with the lid on.
Then use a grill brush to scrape any residue from grill grates.
Reduce heat to medium; keep covered.
Meanwhile, punch down dough and, on a lightly floured surface, divide into 4 equal pieces (if you didnt already divide it prior to freezing).
With floured hands, stretch and press each piece of dough to about 18-inch thickness.
Quickly but carefully transfer dough to grill, using tongs if needed, then cover grill and cook 3 minutes until grill marks appear on bottom and top of dough is puffy.
Use tongs to flip dough and cook on the other side for 3 minutes until grill marks appear and bread is cooked through.
Repeat with any remaining dough.
Serve immediately with toppings of your choice (butter, ghee, garlic and fresh chopped herbs are some tasty examples).
Note: It is easier to handle the dough once its refrigerated, so I usually let mine rest overnight in the fridge before using.
There tends to be a more developed flavor, too, when it chills overnight.

Add the yogurt little by little and fold it in.
Bring the dough together.
It's fine if it's sticky.
Put the dough on a generously dusted work surface.
Dust a rolling pin with flour also, and roll the dough out 1 cm thick.
Fold it in half to make it 2cm thick.
Cut out round shapes from the dough using a cookie cutter or a glass.
I used a 5cm diameter tea cup.
Dip the rim of the cup or cutter in flour to prevent the dough from sticking to it.
Line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment paper, put the biscuits on and bake for about 7 minutes.
When the tops become browned they're done.
You can eat them as is, or with maple syrup or jam on the side!
Serve the biscuits American Country style with lots of sausage gravy,!
Please give it a try - it's worth it!
You can vary these by kneading cheese or chocolate into the dough.

Set a large stainless steel bowl over the saucepan and add the milk; do not let the bowl touch the water.
Turn the heat to low and gradually heat the milk, whisking, until it registers 180 on a candy thermometer.
Keep the milk at 180 for 30 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary.
Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let the milk cool down to 106, stirring often.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 110.If using yogurt, whisk it with 2 cups of the warm milk in a bowl until smooth, then add it back into the warm milk.
If using powdered yogurt culture, sprinkle the powder all over the warm milk.
Whisk the cultured warm milk for 3 minutes.
Fill several clean jars to 1 inch below the rim with the cultured milk.
Cap the jars and place in the warmed oven (or a yogurt maker or other gently heated spot); the cultured milk should stay between 105 and 110 during the entire process.
Begin checking the yogurt after 4 1/2 hours; its ready when it is thick, tangy and surrounded by a small amount of clear whey.
If using a pH meter, the yogurt is ready when it registers 4.5.
Depending on how active the cultures are, it can take up to 18 hours for the yogurt to set and develop its characteristic tang.
Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled or overnight.

Spread a little olive oil on the dough as you stretch and press it out.
When the dough has stretched out a bit, if you hold the middle of the dough between both hands and shake it around in circles, it will stretch out even more.
Press out any thick parts of the dough to finish.
The naan should be more than 20 cm in diameter.

In any case, I enjoyed it at the texture which was not completely smooth.
Using a food mill would probably enable a smoother texture.

I used Dark Bitter chocolate for the strongest chocolate flavour) but I'm sure that bittersweet or even white chocolate would be fine if you prefer!
:).
Put aside.
Spoon Cocoa powder into a small plastic tub.
(A cleaned, used individual yoghurt tub is ideal - plastic is good because it doesn't warm the yoghurt like pottery or glass would.
).
Add the granulated sweetener and mix it well with the cocoa.
Add the vanilla flavouring and a small 3/4 teaspoon or so of the yoghurt.
Using teaspoon mix well until all the cocoa is mixed in and it forms a very thick paste.
If necessary add a little more yoghurt.
Should only take a few seconds.
Add a little more of the yoghurt - a teaspoon or two and mix that in well.
Then add the rest of the yoghurt and stir it well.
Add the grated chocolate and stir into the yoghurt.
DEVOUR!
Note: I kept the sweetness on the light side because it's easy to add more.
I actually added another 1/2 tsp sweetener but it kind of depends how heaped you make those teaspoons - I don't !
If you find it's already a bit too sweet then you can add a little more yoghurt.
This would stand the addition of some preserved cherries or other fruit such as small pieces of orange, banana, butterscotch or toffee chips and even a little kirschwasser, rum or Baileys if you're feeling indulgent.
If you're feeling really indulgent you could add cherries, liqueur and top with whipped cream, then sprinkle some grated chocolate or candied citrus fruit or zest for presentation.
Can easily be prepared in larger volumes and chilled.
UPDATE:.
I did make it again later - and yes it is absolutely delicious with small pieces of chopped up ripe banana :).","url":"https://recipe.bluelayer.org/recipe/12751/final-liberation-diet-chocolate-yoghurt"},{"id":"12730","title":"V8 V-Fusion Mixed Berry Smoothies","ingredients":"goji berries, dried

Clean and pick through dal for any small stones and grit.
Rinse well.
In another bowl, combine dal and fenugreek seeds and cover with 4 cups (1 L) cold water.
Soak overnight.
Drain dal mixture.
In a blender, puree mixture, in 2 batches, with 1/4 cup (50 mL) warm water for each batch.
Blend continuously for 2 to 3 minutes to make a smooth batter.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Drain rice and add to blender, in 2 batches, adding 1/4 cup (50 mL) water to each batch.
Blend continuously for about 2 minutes, until batter is very smooth.
Pour into lentil batter.
Stir in salt and about 1/4 cup (50 mL) additional water to make a cake-like batter.
Mix well to combine.
Cover and set aside in a warm spot to ferment for 10 to 12 hours.
Ideally, when ready, batter should be almost doubled and appear light and frothy.
(This does not always happen, but, even so, the batter will be fine to use.
It will lack the slight tang of a fermented batter.)
Batter can be covered and refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
Return to room temperature before proceeding with recipe.
When ready to make dosas, whip batter vigorously for 2 minutes.
Thin batter with additional water as necessary until it resembles heavy cream thick but pourable.
Heat a dry large nonstick griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat.
Sprinkle a few drops of water to check if they sizzle and disappear.
The correct temperature is very important.
Using a 1/2-cup (125 mL) metal measuring cup, pour batter into middle of griddle and quickly spread with a circular motion using flat bottom of cup, from the inside to outer edge, forming a crepe about 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) round.
If metal cup is not available, use metal ladle and spread batter with bottom of ladle.
This step requires quick action as crepe (dosa) begins to cook almost instantly.
Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Uncover and drizzle 3/4 tsp (4 mL) of the oil over top.
Cook for 1 minute.
Edges will begin to curl.
Remove with spatula and fold gently in half.
Repeat with remaining batter.

Place lid on it, but don't seal it (sealed starters have been known to explode).

The yogurt and milk will separate forming a large curd, when adding the flour just stir it all back together.
Add the flour stir, and put back in warm place for 3 to 5 days; stirring daily.
It will bubble and have the odor of fermentation--it is ready to use.
Remember the starter is a living thing and needs to be fed and fed frequently when an infant.
I feed the \"infant\" weekly by placing it on the counter for several hours and allowing it to come to room temperature.
Then remove 1/2 cup starter, discarding the remainder.
Feed the 1/2 cup with equal amounts of milk (buttermilk will produce a stronger sour taste) and unbleached flour; i.e.
1 cup flour and 1 cup milk plus 1/2 cup of starter.

Later on inside of daily life, While I uncovered I required a exchange to slide back again upon within just situation journalism unsuccessful, my father shipped me to bar- tending college. As a result due, Mother and Father.

And, relying upon the group, accurately as compli- cated. Get tropical beverages, which are crafted with vari- ous types of rum and juices to choose that island come to feel. However the common beverages, the types that comprise stayed for the duration of the several years against Sinatra to Sting, constantly merely include 2 components, still they are no considerably less for it.
Within just the conclude, drinking—together with wardrobes and lovers— will come down to person flavor.
