Two Ingredient Dough

Two ingredient dough is so easy to prepare and is made without yeast.  As the name suggests you only need 2 ingredients - Greek yoghurt and flour - and you'll have a dough that can be used to make pizza, scrolls and rolls.

I don't throw around the word "life-changing" too often (ok, yes I do) but this two ingredient dough is ACTUALLY life-changing.  It's your gateway to so many delicious recipes and all are ready in less than 30 minutes.

If you're anything like me you're a little hesitant to play around with yeast.  It's daunting and sounds like a lot of work - using correct temperature water, kneading, proofing, proofing again.  Heck, some dough recipes can take more than a day to come together!

But this two ingredient dough is just about the easiest thing you'll ever make and is ready in mere minutes.  I've spent the past month rigorously testing recipe after recipe using this dough and they taste just as good as their yeasty counterparts.

Whether you choose to use your dough to make pizza, scrolls or rolls, you'll be amazed at how simple and tasty it all is.

Why you'll love this recipe...

  • The easiest dough you'll ever make.
  • No proofing required!
  • Very versatile - make pizza, scrolls or rolls.
  • Just as delicious as dough made of yeast!

Can you really make dough out of flour and Greek yoghurt?

YES!  I was a little skeptical at first but you truly only need two ingredients to make a quick and easy dough that can be used for pizza, scrolls, rolls or even bagels!

How to make Two Ingredient Dough

Making two ingredient dough could not be easier.  First, grab your ingredients:

  • Self-Raising Flour / Self-Rising Flour 
  • Greek Yoghurt

Tip - Only have all purpose or plain flour on hand?  Just mix in 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every cup of flour you use.  

Place 1 cup of Greek yoghurt in a mixing bowl and give it a stir.  Then add in 1 cup of flour and mix to combine.

At this point you need to gradually add more flour in until the dough holds together in a ball shape.  Usually this will be between ½ - ¾ of a cup more, but it is dependent on how wet your yoghurt was to start off with.

Turn your ball of dough onto a well floured surface and knead until well combined.  If it's still a little too sticky, continue to mix in flour until you reach the right consistency.  The dough should be able to hold it's shape and not stick to your surface.

How to use Two Ingredient Dough

There are so many ways to use two ingredient dough.  Two of my favourite ways to use it is to make pizza or scrolls.

If you're making pizza, you can either roll out your dough with a rolling pin into a large pizza base, or divide into 4-6 even pieces and roll out for mini pizza bases.

Top with your favourite toppings, then cook in the oven (200C / 390F) for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and then cheese is melted.

If you're making sweet or savoury scrolls, you can roll out your dough into a rectangle shape, sprinkle over your favourite toppings then roll it up tight and cut into 8 even pieces.

Place on a sheet pan and cook in the oven (190C / 375F) for 15-20 minutes until the dough is cooked through.

TOP TIPS

  • You can use any type of Greek Yoghurt (low fat etc) but I recommend not substituting for plain regular yoghurt (e.g. not the Greek variety) as it isn't thick enough for this recipe.  You'll also want to make sure the Greek Yoghurt you use is thick and not runny.
  • If you don't have self-raising / self-rising flour on hand, substitute with all purpose / plain flour & baking powder (the conversion is 1 cup of flour to 2 teaspoons of baking powder).
  • It's hard to say an exact amount of flour as it essentially changes on every batch!  Start with 1 cup, then slowly mix in another ½ - ¾ cups until you reach your desired consistency.  If you need more, so be it.
  • The dough has reached the right consistency when it can hold in a ball shape and doesn't stick to your hands.
  • Flour your surface and your rolling pin before rolling the dough out.
  • You want to work quickly with this dough.  Put it together, roll it out and get it into the oven ASAP.
  • If you want to make the dough ahead make sure you pop it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use.
  • When it comes time to cook your dough (whether you are making pizza or scrolls), cook it on a baking tray lined with a silicone mat or baking paper to prevent sticking.

Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe 🥜🥚🍫 : https://www.cookitrealgood.com/peanut-butter-eggs/

OR comment with "Peanut" and I'll DM you the link!

For me, this Peanut Butter Eggs recipe is a holiday staple—not just for Easter. It’s my ultimate comfort treat that shows up during every festive season, including the run-up to Christmas. I hope that’s not weird 😆😁.

They've got that nostalgic chocolate-peanut butter combo everyone loves, but with a homemade twist that makes them even better. Plus, you can dip and drizzle them in any chocolate you like—dark, white, milk—and decorate them to look just like colourful eggs.

100g brown sugar
50g granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
200g Nutella

100g dark chocolate chips

Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe 🥬🍴: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts/

Still recovering from the nightmare of being force-fed stinky and bitter boiled brussels sprouts as a child?  Never fear - these Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon will turn even the most adamant brussels sprouts hater around.

Brussels sprouts really shine when oven roasted - crisp and caramelised on the outside and tender on the inside.  Not to mention how simple it is - throw everything on a tray in the oven for 25 minutes and voila!

Chicken Florentine

If you're craving a comforting, creamy dish, Chicken Florentine is the answer. Imagine golden-fried chicken smothered in a rich, garlic spinach cream sauce. The sauce is silky smooth, with just the right amount of tang from the Parmesan cheese and a burst of flavor from the fresh baby spinach.

Ingredients: 

For the chicken:

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil

For the sauce:

3 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach

Maybe it’s because of the cute color—my kids really love carrots. Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient.

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/

OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐

I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired.  This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own.  The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour.

It's on the table in 15 minutes.  Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes!  This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook.  But totally doable.

Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴

Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka. But back during the Covid era, Gigi Hadid shared the recipe on her social media, and ever since then, everyone’s been calling it Gigi Hadid Pasta.

Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this.

Here's what you'll need to make this recipe:

8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion)
¼ cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons vodka (optional)
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 tablespoon butter
A handful of fresh basil for garnish

Sounds great, but can you freeze it?

Cassie

Hey Kimmii - yes you can. I wouldn't freeze it in a big ball, but if you roll it out into say little pizza bases and freeze with a little baking paper in between that would work well. But honestly it's so easy to make up I never freeze it - just make a fresh batch!

Hey Melanie, I haven't personally tried with gluten free flour but a reader did and had great success. Just make sure you use a gluten free baking powder too if there's not one already in the flour 🙂

Hey Pilar, I haven't tried either of those flours. I know that a gluten free flour blend works but that's usually a mix of flours. Can always give it a go - I assume you'd need more flour then what is written though. Thanks 🙂

Iv really been looking forward to giving this a go. I made Cheesymite Scrolls. Air fryer at 185c for about 13 mins. They turned out VERY doughy. Where have I gone wrong??

Cassie

Cassie

April 26, 2021

Hey Kylee-Anne - it sounds to me like they just needed to cook a bit longer. I do my yoghurt dough scrolls in the air fryer on 180 for about 15 mins usually, but if they're still doughy inside they definitely need longer. Did they get lots of colour on the outside? If so just turn the temp down next time and aim for about 20 mins or so.
