I've been told not to try and make bread and yogurt at the same time as the yeasts interfere with
each other. True? - Mike

Use separate bowls.

Bread is leavened when YEAST turns sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yogurt has a culture of
BACTERIA that turn sugars into lactic acid. They are different types of fermentation caused by two
different organisms.

If you are making sourdough bread or you are letting your dough rise at a very cold temperature for
a long time, you will have bacterial fermentation along with the yeast fermentation. I believe that
as the pH is lowered by the bacteria, the yeast is effected, but I'm too lazy to look it up right
now. So, I think that the short answer is that what you have heard is misinformation.

It is beer/wine and bread yeasts that interfere with each other (AFAIK).
