What You’ll Need

- 2 cups self-rising flour

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line an 8×8" baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll them into balls.
- Place the dough balls in the prepared baking dish, then bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and puffed.
- For an extra touch, brush the warm rolls with melted butter for a soft, glossy finish.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These 2-Ingredient Dinner Rolls are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your experience in various ways. Consider serving them warm with butter and a sprinkle of sea salt, or use them to soak up savory sauces and gravies. They’re also fantastic with honey or jam for a sweet twist.
How to Store & Freeze
To keep your leftover dinner rolls fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to save some for later, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply thaw on the countertop or reheat in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F.
Tricks for Success
Here are some handy tips to ensure your rolls turn out perfectly:
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt: This provides the moisture and richness needed for fluffy rolls.
- Don’t over-knead: Just 1-2 minutes of kneading is enough! Overworking the dough can lead to tougher rolls.
- Experiment with flavor: Add herbs, garlic powder, or cheese to the dough for a tasty twist.
Creative Twists
Take this basic recipe and make it your own! Here are a few ideas:
- Cheesy Garlic Rolls: Mix in shredded cheese and minced garlic for a savory addition.
- Sweet Rolls: Add a tablespoon of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dough for a sweet variant.
- Herbed Rolls: Incorporate chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant touch.
