The little cushion is called a bread pad.

I think if you used a strainer or a coffee filter on the regular yogurt we can get here to get rid of some of the moisture you'd be ok. We are just now getting to the point locally where the stores carry Greek style yogurt. Sometimes. Now if I could just talk them into carrying Italian parsley instead of the curly stuff....

Can you get the yoghurt making kits in the US? We have them in the supermarket here and make our own yoghurt. If we want the yoghurt stronger we just leave it fermenting for a day longer.

I tried sticking a spare piece of pizza dough to the inside of the oven tonight but no joy. My pad might not have been wide enough to properly press it though so I will try again.

The Indians spray or brush a little water on the working side of the dough, sticks like a charm. Remember, in a tandoor it falls in the fire if it doesn't stick. You can also just cook it on the oven floor. No bread pad needed.

On a related topic, there's a good looking Tandoori chicken recipe in the latest issue of Cooks Illustrated.

Keep trying. :-)

We have a yoghurt maker -- they're a lot of fun, though I want to get into making soft cheeses as well.
