Easy Peasy Instant Pot Greek Yogurt

I’m amazed at just how easy yogurt is to make!! I love my euro strainer! I have attached a video of how it works! Looking forward to making whey bread in just a couple hours!
Recipe:
1/2 gallon of your favorite milk
1 tablespoon of starter

Bring milk to 180 degrees. (Or skip for cold start). Cool to 100-110. Add starter. Set IP on yogurt function. I do 8 hours. Less time equals less tartness....

Here is the link for the stainless strainer I have: http://amzn.to/2sxkh7A

Nonstainless version (on sale): http://amzn.to/2Ho69kl

This holds 2 quarts or a half a gallon of milk. Cleanup is simple...just run your strainer under the hot water sprayer. The mesh is fine and fragile so must handle with care.

Instant Pot Crusty Whey Bread


I made this fabulous bread in my Instant Pot!  I used my cast iron dutch oven!  Crusty, delicious.  I followed This Old Gal's recipe....but did change one of the cups of flour to whole wheat.  It was still light and fluffy!  https://thisoldgal.com/instant-pot-yogurt-whey-dutch-oven-crusty-bread/
