How to make 2 Ingredient Dinner Rolls
The cooking process explained
Making these light and airy rolls is a breeze! The process involves mixing, kneading, and baking—no complicated steps. First, you’ll combine the self-rising flour with Greek yogurt to form a dough. Then, a quick knead on a floured surface is all it takes to make the dough smooth and ready for baking.
Ingredients
What you’ll need
Make sure to gather these simple items before you start:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt (for the best texture)
No need for fancy equipment! A mixing bowl and a lightly floured surface will suffice. If you’re working with dietary restrictions, you can experiment with an alternative yogurt, but results may vary.
Directions
Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
- In a large bowl, mix together the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt until it forms a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are puffed up.
- If desired, brush warm rolls with melted butter for that soft, glossy finish that keeps them irresistible!
How to serve 2 Ingredient Dinner Rolls
Best ways to enjoy it
These dinner rolls are incredibly versatile. Serve them warm right out of the oven with a pat of butter, or pair them with your favorite soup or stew for a cozy meal. Try them alongside roasted meats or use them as a base for sliders! You can also whip up a simple dip or spread, such as garlic butter or olive oil seasoned with herbs, for an extra flavor kick.
How to store
Keeping leftovers fresh
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (which is rare!), allow the rolls to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will last for about 2-3 days at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just thaw and reheat in the oven for that fresh-baked taste.
Tips to make
Practical cooking tips
To ensure the best results, here are a few tips:
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer texture—this gives the rolls a delightful fluffiness.
- Don’t over-knead the dough; a quick 1-2 minutes is all you need to bring it together.
- If you find your dough too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour as you knead.
Variations
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Here are some fun variations to consider:
- Herb-Infused Rolls: Add dried or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for an aromatic twist.
- Cheesy Rolls: Mix in shredded cheese for a cheesy delight—cheddar or mozzarella work wonderfully.
- Sweet Version: Swap out some flour for sugar and add a touch of cinnamon for a breakfast roll.

Common questions
1. How long does it take to make these rolls?
Preparation and baking time usually total around 30-40 minutes. They’re perfect for a quick addition to any meal!

Yes! You can try using regular yogurt or an alternative like coconut yogurt, though the rolls might not be as fluffy.
