9. YOGURT / DOUGH RISING Menu

This menu allows you to make yogurt directly in the pot or with oven- compatible containers. It also offers the possibility to rise a yeast dough. MAKING YOGURT

• Wash the bowl, dish or containers in warm water and washing up liquid, then rinse and dry them thoroughly.

• All the equipment used in the yogurt making process should be cleaned in a dishwasher. Sterilising is important to prevent the introduction of undesirable airborne organisms which could interfere with the incubation of the culture, and results in runny yogurt which will not set.

• Homemade yogurts do not contain the thickeners and stabilisers contained in some commercially produced yogurt and are often thinner in consistency. Sometimes homemade yogurt has nutritious clear whey on top which can be stirred back in. Alternatively, you can pour it off.

• Homemade natural yogurt can be flavoured with fresh fruit or cold cooked stewed fruit after preparation and chilling. If the fruit is addedEN

before fermentation the fruit acids interfere with the setting process and the yogurts will be very runny. Some very acidic fruits, such as fresh pineapple, can cause the yogurt to curdle or separate. Acidic fruit is best served in a separate bowl.

CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS FOR YOGURT

Milk What milk should you use? All our recipes (unless otherwise stipulated) are prepared using cow’s milk. You can use plant milk such as soya milk for example as well as sheep or goat’s milk but, in this case, the firmness of the yogurt may vary depending on the milk used. Raw milk or long-life milks and all the milks described below are suitable for your appliance:

• Long- life sterilized milk: UHT whole milk results in firmer yogurt. Using semi-skimmed milk will result in less firm yogurt. However, you can use semi-skimmed milk and add one or two pots of powdered milk.

• Pasteurized milk: this milk gives a more creamy yogurt with a little bit of skin on the top.

• Raw milk (farm milk): this must be boiled. It is also recommended to let it boil for a long time. It would be dangerous to use this milk without boiling it. You must then leave it to cool before using it in your appliance. Culturing using yogurt prepared with raw milk is not recommended.

• Powdered milk: using powdered milk will result in very creamy yogurt. Follow the instructions on the manufacturer’s box. Choose a whole milk, preferably long-life UHT. Raw (fresh) or pasteurized milk must be boiled then cooled and needs the skin removing. The ferment For yogurt. This is made either from:

• One shop-bought natural yogurt with the longest expiry date possible; your yogurt will therefore contain more active ferment for a firmer yogurt.

• From a freeze-dried ferment. In this case, follow the activation time specified on the ferment instructions. You can find these ferments in supermarkets, pharmacies and in certain health product stores.

• From one of your recently prepared yogurt – this must be natural and recently prepared. This is called culturing. After five culturing processes, the used yogurt loses active ferments and therefore risks giving a less firm consistency. You then need to start again using a shop- bought yogurt or freeze-dried ferment. If you have boiled the milk, wait until it has reached room temperature before adding the ferment. Too high a heat may destroy the properties of your ferment. Fermentation time

• Your yogurt will need between 6 and 12 hours of fermentation, depending on the basic ingredients and the result you are after. Fluid 6h 7h 8h 9h 10h 11h 12h Firm Sweet Acidic

• Once the yogurt cooking process is finished, the yogurt should be placed in a refrigerator for at least 4 hours and it can be kept max 7 days in refrigerator. DOUGH RISING Before using this menu to rise your yeast dough, you must knead your dough first.

• If you are kneading your dough manually, you can first mix your yeast with the warm water or milk in a cup. You can add 1 tsp of sugar to it and stir well to boost the activation of the yeast.

• If you see a foaming reaction within 10 mins, it means that your yeast is active.

• You can mix this liquid containing the activated yeast to the dry ingredients ( flour+ salt) and complete with the remaining quantity of liquid needed for your recipe.

• It is usually recommended to knead your dough for about 15-20mins to reach a good and homogenous consistency.

• Once you have reached a smooth consistency, place the dough into the cooking bowl, then close the lid.EN

• Select the DOUGH RISING menu according to the instructions on “ Selecting your menu” section.

• The standard recommended time is usually 1h for a white bread dough.

• NB: The proofing time required may vary depending on the nature and quality of your ingredients.

• If your dough did not rise at all after 30min-1h, your yeast may be deactivated or you used too hot liquid. In this case, you can re- incorporate some new yeast to save your dough. TIPS: Avoid the yeast to be in direct contact with salt and do not use hot water. Salt is the enemy of yeast and high heat will kill the effect of the inactivated yeast. So make sure to use warm water instead of hot water. NOTE: Do not use any metallic ustensile in the cooking pot to avoid any deterioration. If you wish to prepare the dough with a hand mixer, please use a suitable bowl and transfer the dough to the cooking bowl of your Tefal multicooker only from proofing.
