Homemade yogurt

Homemade yogurt anyone? Here’s a recipe you’ll love, because you made it, it’s easy, cheaper and because it really is better than the one from store.

Ingredients:

For a 16oz jar

1.Milk -16oz

2.Yogurt -1 tbsp(with live cultures)

If you want to make this Maple yogurt just add 2tbsp in the jar.

Bring milk to boil on midum high to 210°F-240°F. Stir consistently so milk doesn’t stick to the pot and burn. When milk starts boiling, boil for 1 min and remove from oven.Let it cool to 110°-120°F, about 20 min. In the meantime in a jar put a table spoon of yogurt, the yogurt must have live active cultures. There will be a film forming on top of the milk during the cooling, just remove it with a fork. After cooling the milk, pour in the jar and stir quickly, close the jar, you can wrap it in towels (anything to keep it warm) and put it inside a pot and cover with the lid, leave in the microwave overnight, and in the morning you should have yogurt.

• The yogurt must be wrapped in something and left somewhere warm. The trick is to let it cool very slowly, if it doesn’t it won’t work.

• If the milk sticks to the pot try not to disturb the bottom, just pour the milk slowly, you can also use sieve.

Easy Parmesan Rolls

These parmesan rolls are easy to make. Basically I use the same recipe for my bread, except the water is a bit more.

Ingredients:
1. All Purpose Flour(King Arthur)-3 cups
2. Yeast – 1 tsp
3. Salt – 1 tsp
4. Water – 1 1/4 cup, lukewarm
5. Olive oil – 1tbs, and some extra for oiling the bowl and dough.
6. Butter and parmesan for the top

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with the dough hook. When dough is all done, oil the bowl and the dough, cover and let it rise for an hour. After an hour make little rolls, about an inch big and set them in a pan close to each other. When you are done, melt butter and spread on top of the rolls, and let them rise again for about an hour. After an hour preheat oven to 400° and bake for 25-30min. When done let them rest for a few minutes and in the meantime prepare the butter and parmesan.
Simply melt 1tbsp butter in the microwave, add 1tbsp parmesan and mix. Spread the mix over the rolls and you are done.
• Depending on how warm is in your kitchen rising time may vary.
• Depending on your oven baking time may vary also.
• If the dough gets too sticky just oil your hands a little.

Berry Ice cream

With this super simple and easy recipe you’ll be making ice-cream every week for the hot summer days. You can make it without the berry sauce I will share,and that is only two ingredients. You can use this as a base for any flavor you want to make. Let’s start.
Ingredients:
1. Heavy cream – 2 cups
2. Sweetened condensed milk- 1can(14oz/397g)
Berry Sauce:
1. Blueberries and Raspberries – 400g
2. Lemon Juice – 1tbsp
3. Sugar – 1tbsp

Pour cream in a bowl and start mixing on medium high. When it starts to thicken mix on high for a few minutes, just make sure you don’t over mix. When you see stiff peaks it’s ready.
Add the condensed milk and mix on low speed. And that’s it, freeze for 4 to 6 hours. You can freeze the ice-cream like this and just enjoy simple ice-cream.

Berry sauce is easy to make too, just make sure you make it a few hours or a day in advance so it can cool down.
Put everything in a pot and bring to a boil, mix well and let it cook until the juices have reduced a little. After it has cooled down add the sauce to the ice-cream and fold in with a spatula, and then freeze.
