Today, we’re talking about a shockingly simple bread made with just two ingredients.

Overview of This 2-Ingredient Bread

Yes, you read that right. Just two basic ingredients:

• Self-rising flour
• Greek yogurt

That’s it. No yeast. No rising time. No complicated steps. And somehow… it works beautifully.

This bread is soft, slightly chewy, and incredibly versatile. It can be shaped into rolls, flatbreads, bagels, or even mini pizza crusts. I promised you versatile, and here’s proof!

Why You’ll Love This Simple Bread

• Only 2 ingredients
• No yeast required
• Ready in under 30 minutes
• No kneading skills needed
• Perfect for beginners

The smell when this is baking in the oven is incredible!! Warm, comforting, and completely irresistible.

What Does It Taste Like?

Think of it as a cross between a soft dinner roll and a fluffy flatbread. The Greek yogurt gives it a subtle tang, while the self-rising flour provides structure and lift.

It’s not sourdough-level complex, but it’s soft, tender, and satisfying — especially when brushed with melted butter or dipped in olive oil.

Anything but boring!!

Ingredients

You only need:

• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (thick, full-fat or 2%)

If you don’t have self-rising flour, don’t worry — you can make your own:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix those together, and you’re ready to go.

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

No mixer required. No bread machine. Just simple kitchen basics.

How to Make This 2-Ingredient Bread

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

It may look a little sticky at first — that’s completely normal.

Step 3: Knead Briefly

Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough for about 3–5 minutes until smooth. Don’t overwork it — just enough to bring it together.

Step 4: Shape

You can:

• Form into 6–8 rolls
• Flatten into small rounds for flatbread
• Shape into a small loaf
• Roll into bagel shapes

So many possibilities!

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.

If making a loaf, it may need closer to 30 minutes.

Let cool slightly before slicing — though I won’t judge if you tear into it warm!

What to Serve With This Bread

This bread is incredibly adaptable:

• With butter and jam
• Alongside soup or chili
• As mini sandwich buns
• Topped with garlic and herbs
• As personal pizza crust

It’s perfect for those “I need bread right now” moments.

Storage Instructions

• Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
• Refrigerator: Up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheat in the oven or toaster for best texture.

General Information

This type of bread works because self-rising flour contains baking powder. When combined with the moisture and acidity from Greek yogurt, it creates lift and structure — no yeast required.

It’s perfect for beginner bakers or busy weeknights when traditional bread just isn’t realistic.

Conclusion

I had no idea you could make bread with just these ingredients — and now I can’t stop making it. It’s simple, satisfying, and perfect for those moments when you want homemade bread without the wait.
