Yoghurt is the best known of a group of cultured
fermented milk products and it is made when
pasteurised milk and starter culture bacteria are
combined and allowed to incubate at the correct
temperature for several hours. The starter culture
bacteria convert most of the lactose in whole milk
into lactic acid creating the soft creamy curd and a
distinctive taste of yoghurt.
Yoghurt making recipes in this book use pasteurised
milks containing lactose such as full-cream, skim
and goat’s milk. Starter culture bacteria can be either
a commercial natural yoghurt (containing the live
culture bacteria Lactobacillus bulgaricus, acidophilus
or casei), yoghurt made in your Yoghurt Creations, a
powdered starter culture available from supermarkets
or a bacterial yoghurt starter available from health
food stores. Adding full-cream, skim or goat’s milk
powder to the recipes will give a thicker, firmer
setting yoghurt. Recipes are also included for making
soy yoghurt.
Preparation of the yoghurt ingredients and utensils is
important. Ensure all utensils are clean and
ingredients are fresh. Use Australian metric
measuring cups and spoons to measure the
ingredients and a sterilised kitchen thermometer to
check the temperature of the milk.
Your Breville Yoghurt Creations makes fresh healthy
yoghurt that can be eaten in its pure natural state or
mixed with other sweet or savoury ingredients to
enhance the flavour. Yoghurt made in your Breville
Yoghurt Creations can also be used to make cultured
milk products such as soft cheeses or incorporated in
a variety of sweet and savoury recipes.

Using your Breville Yoghurt Creations
Before first use
Remove any packaging material and promotional
labels. Remove the Yoghurt Creations outer lid,
yoghurt container lid, yoghurt container, yoghurt bowl
and spoon, and wash in warm, soapy water, rinse
under hot water and dry thoroughly with a clean tea
towel. Wipe the Yoghurt Creations housing with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Ensure that all parts
are completely dry before assembling (refer to
cleaning instructions).
To disassemble the Breville Yogurt Creations
Step 1

Step 2
Remove the Yoghurt Creations outer lid from the top
of the housing. Remove the yoghurt container and
container lid from inside the housing. Use the handle
on top of the yoghurt container lid to rotate the lid
clockwise or anti-clockwise until it unlocks from the
yoghurt container.
To operate the Breville Yoghurt Creations
Step 1
Before assembling the Yoghurt Creations for use,
ensure the setting dial is in the OFF position, the
power is switched off at the power outlet and the
power plug is removed from the power outlet.
Step 2
Prepare yoghurt mixture following desired recipe
instructions. Refer to yoghurt recipes on Page 14 and 15.
Step 3
Pour the yoghurt mixture into the yoghurt container.
Lock the container lid onto the yoghurt container by

Step 6
At the end of the selected incubation time, remove
the lids and check that the yoghurt has slightly
thickened and set. If the yoghurt requires more
thickening, replace the lids and turn the Setting Dial
to select additional incubation time. When the
yoghurt has thickened sufficiently, turn the Setting
Dial to the ‘OFF’ position, switch the power off at the
outlet and unplug the power cord. Remove the
yoghurt container and lid from the housing. Place the
yoghurt into the refrigerator overnight to achieve a
firmly set yoghurt.

Hints & tips for successful yoghurt making
•Ensure the yoghurt container, container lid and
other utensils used in preparation of the yoghurt
are clean and rinsed under hot water then dried
with a clean tea towel prior to use. This will help
eliminate interfering bacteria.
•Ensure the ingredients to be used in yoghurt making
are fresh. Using out-of-date products will impede the
production of thick, flavoursome yoghurt.
•Ensure the ingredients are suitable for making yoghurt.
•Follow suggested recipe quantities and methods to
ensure successful yoghurt production. If lesser
quantities are used, reduce the incubation time.
•To avoid milk sticking or burning to base of
saucepan when heating, use medium heat and stir
continuously with a metal spoon.
•Do not heat milk in a microwave oven.
•After heating, cool the milk by placing the
saucepan in a shallow, cold water bath.
•Use a sterilised kitchen thermometer to monitor
temperature of the milk when heating and cooling.
•Avoid moving the Yoghurt Creations during the
incubation time. To avoid the yoghurt curdling, do
not stir yoghurt during or at the end of incubation.
Stir only after refrigeration.
•Avoid leaving the yoghurt to incubate for longer
than suggested time in the recipe. The yoghurt is
still edible but may separate and have a curdled
appearance.
•Do not use the Yoghurt Creations near a heat
source, outdoors or in sunlight as exposure to
excessive heat may make the yoghurt separate and
have a curdled appearance.
•Refrigerate the finished yoghurt for 2 to 3 hours
before using. The texture and flavour will improve
with longer refrigeration.
•If the yoghurt container is required for further
yoghurt making, place the refrigerated, set yoghurt
into a clean, sterilised container, seal with a lid and
refrigerate until required.
•Keeping qualities of the yoghurt will vary depending
on the ingredients used and length of incubation
time. Yoghurt and yoghurt culture foods should be
refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days.
