Recipe Name: 2-Ingredient Yogurt Bread
Difficulty: Very Easy
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Bake Time: 25–35 minutes
Total Time: ~40 minutes
Servings: 8 slices

Description

This incredibly simple bread uses only self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to create a soft, tender loaf without yeast, kneading, or rise time. The yogurt provides moisture and tang, while the self-rising flour gives lift. Perfect for beginners or when you need bread fast.

Ingredients

✔️ Only 2 ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250 g) self-rising flour

  • 2 cups (480 g) plain Greek yogurt

If you don’t have self-rising flour:

Mix:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the dough:
    In a bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt.
    Stir until it forms a thick, sticky dough.

  3. Shape or pour:
    Transfer into a loaf pan. Smooth the top with a wet spatula.

  4. Bake:
    25–35 minutes, or until:

    • The top is golden

    • A toothpick comes out clean

    • The loaf sounds hollow when tapped

  5. Cool:
    Let rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then cool fully on a rack.

Tips & Notes

  • Use thick Greek yogurt. Regular yogurt makes dough too wet.

  • Don’t overmix. Stop when ingredients are just combined.

  • Add flavors (optional):

    • Garlic powder

    • Shredded cheese

    • Herbs

    • Honey or cinnamon for sweetness

  • Make rolls instead of a loaf:
    Scoop dough into balls and bake 15–18 minutes.

  • Texture:
    Slightly denser than yeast bread but soft and fluffy.

Serving Suggestions

  • Toast with butter

  • Sandwiches

  • Breakfast bread with jam

  • Serve alongside soups and stews

Q/A About the Recipe

Q1: Can I use regular yogurt?

Yes, but drain it first — too much moisture makes the bread gummy.

Q2: Why is my bread dense?

Overmixing or using thin yogurt can cause density.

Q3: Can I make it gluten-free?

Yes — use gluten-free self-rising flour.

Q4: Does it taste like yogurt?

Only a hint; it disappears after baking.

Q5: Can I freeze it?

Absolutely. Wrap slices well and freeze up to 2–3 months.
