Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups self-rising flour: This is the main ingredient that gives the rolls their structure and fluffiness. Self-rising flour includes baking powder and salt, eliminating the need for additional leavening agents. If you’re out of self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing 2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.
- 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt: Using full-fat Greek yogurt adds moisture and a slight tang, resulting in perfectly tender rolls. If you’re looking for lower-fat options, low-fat Greek yogurt can work too, but it may change the texture slightly.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Dinner Rolls (Easy No Yeast Bread Recipe!)
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8×8″ baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups self-rising flour with 1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt. Mix well until a dough starts to form; it may seem a bit sticky at first.
- Knead the Dough: Sprinkle a little flour on your countertop and turn the dough out. Knead it gently for about 1–2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Don’t over-knead; you want it just combined!
- Shape the Rolls: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and arrange them snugly in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake the Rolls: Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes. Look for a golden brown color on top, and they should be puffed and fragrant.
- Optional Finish: For an extra touch, brush the warm rolls with melted butter after taking them out of the oven. This adds a lovely sheen and additional softness.
Storing & Reheating
To store leftover rolls, let them cool completely and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, transfer them to the fridge where they will last about a week. If you want to freeze them, wrap the rolls tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. Keep in mind that while they will still taste good after freezing, the texture may be a bit denser, but brushing with melted butter can help refresh them!
Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Be sure to measure your flour accurately; too much can make the rolls dense. Spoon it into the cup and level it off for precision.
- If your dough feels too sticky after mixing, sprinkle in a little extra flour, but avoid overdoing it to maintain the soft texture.
- Kneading is essential but keep it brief. Just enough to bring the dough together is perfect!
- For a flavor twist, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough, such as garlic powder, or sprigs of rosemary for an aromatic kick.
- These rolls are best eaten fresh but can still be delicious the next day when warmed.

Recipe FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Absolutely! While regular yogurt can be used, it won’t create the same texture. Greek yogurt is thicker and lends that wonderful fluffiness you’re after. If using regular yogurt, you may need to adjust the flour to ensure the dough holds together.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
Look for a golden brown color on top, and they should feel light and airy when lifted. If using a toothpick to test, it should come out clean without sticky dough attached.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the dough and shape the rolls, then store them in the refrigerator for up to a few hours before baking. Just let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before popping them into the oven.
What can I serve with these dinner rolls?
These rolls pair beautifully with soups, stews, salads, and even as a base for sliders. They’re perfect for soaking up sauces or just enjoying warm with a pat of butter!
