Effects on Your Baking

Yogurt introduces a tangy flavor profile due to its acidity, which can add complexity and depth to the sweetness of baked goods. This substitution will make the flavor slightly more tart, which might be desirable in recipes where a balance of sweet and sour is preferred, such as in lemon cakes or certain types of bread. The natural sugars present in yogurt are less sweet than milk, which might subtly reduce the overall sweetness of the baked item.
