Yogurt Methodologies

May I ask why you use lactose free milk, but then go and add "normal" yoghurt?

Good point!

Good question. That little bit of yogurt doesn't bother me and it is the easiest to do.

Anybody use yogurt when making bread and if so how does it affect texture, taste, rise time, and baking time?

I used it once as a starter for a sourdough bread, then I went on a vacation, when I got back, I think the starter died. I’m too lazy to start another one.

I use yoghurt in Naan bread, as well as a deep-fried Indian bread called Bhatura (Deep-fried Yoghurt bread)

Yes! Those look good and I'll have to try.

You'll love 'em. They're just out of this world.
A Punjabi lady taught me how to make them. Traditionally, they're served with a chickpea stew - and plenty of chiles!

I don't but it probably also depends on what type of milk used - fat content.

Edited to add
I used to use yogurt for naan (seeing karadekoolaid's post above) but stopped using it as I got better results bubble and rise wise with vinegar. It's what's traditionally used for that particular bread.

The little cat didn't come back for more whey . I considered giving it a try in bread but I'm thinking the sour flavour may come thru like Barriehie's rice.

I use it to make flatbreads. Will post link in the flatbread thread. It adds a lovely soft texture and obviously a slightly sour taste.

You can use it in a loaf but it would be advisable to mix with water, rather than use it neat, otherwise the loaf will be dense.

In flatbread as well.
And to make the bottom of an open pie.
Flour, yoghurt & salt.
I'll need to look for amounts
