In a saucepan on the stove, heat milk to 160 degrees, then let it cool to 120 degrees before adding yogurt and the optional dry milk. Transfer the mixture to the bread machine pan with the paddles removed and choose the Yogurt (#12) option. When the process is complete, transfer the yogurt to a storage container and refrigerate until fully chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, spoon the yogurt into a fine-mesh strainer or a strainer lined with cheesecloth to strain out extra liquid to create a thicker yogurt. Transfer the thickened yogurt to a storage container and keep refrigerated.
