I Had No Idea You Could Make Bread With Just 2 Ingredients! (And You Can Too) (Page 2 ) | November 10, 2025

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat works best)
1 cup self-rising flour
✨ Optional add-ins (after mastering the base):

Garlic powder, herbs, cheese, seeds
🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a bowl, combine yogurt and flour.
Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Use hands to gently knead 2–3 times until smooth (don’t overwork).
💡 The dough will be soft but manageable — like playdough.

Step 2: Shape & Rest
Roll into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Flatten slightly into a round loaf (about 1-inch thick).
Let rest 10–15 minutes while oven preheats.
Step 3: Bake
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool 5 minutes before slicing.
🔥 Pro Tip: For flatbreads (like naan), divide dough into 6 pieces, roll thin, and cook in a hot skillet 2–3 minutes per side.

✅ Tips for Success
Use full-fat Greek yogurt
Holds structure better than low-fat or plant-based (unless specially formulated)
Don’t skip resting
Helps gluten relax and rise evenly
Check oven temperature
An oven thermometer ensures accuracy
Store in airtight container
Stays fresh 2–3 days; freeze slices for longer storage

Cheesy Pull-Apart Loaf

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can I use regular yogurt?
Not ideal — regular yogurt has more water and may make the dough too wet. Strain it first (cheesecloth or coffee filter) to thicken.

❓ Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend (check label — should include baking powder and salt).

❓ Why didn’t my bread rise?
Old baking powder in flour
Overmixing
Oven not hot enough
📌 Test your self-rising flour: pinch some in water — it should bubble.
