Yogurt with milk powder recipe with pre-selected milk, culture and temperature. Add 30 grams of milk powder per litre before the heat step to raise the milk solids.
The simulator above opens with this recipe's milk, starter, heat step, temperature and taste targets pre-selected. Adjust them to match your ingredients and kitchen.
Why these settings?
Add 30 grams of milk powder per litre before the heat step to raise the milk solids. Compare its thicker modeled gel with the plain whole-milk recipe using the same culture.
Starting ingredients and settings
Milk: Whole milk (3.25%)
Starter: Generic Plain yogurt (S. thermophilus + L. bulgaricus)
Starter dose: 20 g/L starter
Heat step: 85 °C · 30 min
Method: Yogurt maker
Incubation: 43 °C; simulation window: 12 hours
Milk powder: 30 g/L
Plan your batch
Mix 30 grams of milk powder per litre into the milk before heating.
Prepare the whole milk (3.25%) with this heat step: 85 °C · 30 min. Cool before adding the starter to 43 °C.
Add Generic Plain yogurt (S. thermophilus + L. bulgaricus) using the starting dose of 20 g/L starter. Follow the culture supplier's instructions for activation and dosing.
Use Yogurt maker at 43 °C. The simulator explores up to 12 hours; use the predicted ready window and the cook-along to plan your batch rather than treating the full window as a fixed fermentation time.
Refrigerate after fermentation to cool the batch and let its texture develop.
These are starting defaults, not a guaranteed outcome. Check the simulator’s warnings and science sources for your chosen milk and culture.
