2 Ingredient Dough Variations

This is one of the most common questions I get asked about this recipe. I honestly don't have the time to try all the different flour combinations or Greek Yogurt alternatives that will go with this. Any other flour than self-rising flour will need some baking powder or baking soda added to it to help it rise. Some flours like almond flour, the ratio to Greek Yogurt might not be the same. This is the only one I've tested and it was way too wet.

If you think another ingredient will work just test it and see, I'm not stopping you! 🙂

Substitutes for Greek Yogurt - plain regular yogurt, sour cream, dairy-free yogurts (for those with allergies)

Gluten-Free Option: 1 cup Bob's gluten-free self-rising flour to 1 cup Greek yogurt

Low Carb Flours: almond flour, Carb quick, or any other low carb flour option might not work with the same ratio below. Play around with the ratios.

Pretzel Bites

For the pretzel bites, take one piece of the dough and roll it out into a long rope. Then cut (use a bench cutter or knife) them into tiny bitesize pieces like the picture shows above. Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle them with some Everything Bagel Seasoning. Use the same time and temperature for baking 350 for 18 to 22 minutes.

Cheese Sauce: Tostitos Medium Salsa Con Queso is what I used. It comes in a jar and usually found by their chips. 2 tablespoons is 1 smart point!

Seasoning: The seasoning I used for the pretzel bites was Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning.

Pizza:

Pretty self-explanatory here. Roll out the dough into a pizza shape and add toppings. Use a higher temperature for baking pizza. I usually do 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

Baking the crust first also works. Brushpizza doughlightly with a little olive oil or spray the dough with cooking spray. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Pre-bake thedoughon a hotpizzastone or inpizzapan for 6 minutes. Take it out then add toppings.

If you don't want to use all the dough right away stick it on a plate with some saran wrap and place that in the fridge. This dough can also be frozen. Wrap it tightly in saran wrap and place the dough in the freezer until ready to use.

How to make homemade self rising flour?

If you do not have any self-rising flour on hand you can make your own with all purpose flour! Self-rising flour is made of all-purpose flour and baking powder. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.

    There are better ways around that. Just copy and paste the text to a word doc and print it.

    No you do not need a stand mixer to blend this dough. Just your hands.

  3. Erica says

    Do you use a stand mixer to blend? Sorry, new to making any dough besides cookie 🙂

    You can make bread dough out of this. If you want a larger sized piece of bread double the recipe.

FAQs

Is 2 ingredient dough healthier? ›

Two-ingredient dough is packed with protein thanks to the yogurt, and is free of the preservatives and artificial ingredients found in many prebaked crusts and prepared doughs.

Why is my 2 ingredient dough so sticky? ›

Your dough can become sticky when you add too much water or the flour isn't suitable for the type of dough you are making. Over proofing or fermenting the dough can also result in the gluten structure weakening causing sticky dough.

Can you refrigerate 2 ingredient dough? ›

Yes, you can make the dough ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Why is New York dough better? ›

It's theorized that New York's superior water supply is directly linked to the superb quality of their pizza dough.

Why use yogurt in dough? ›

Adding milk to bread dough makes it looser and softer while using sour cream, yogurt, or buttermilk makes the dough tighter. The tightening effect is caused by acidity. Fermented dairy products have a lower pH than milk or water.

How long will 2 ingredient dough last in the fridge? ›

Make ahead: Tightly wrap the dough with plastic wrap. You can also cut it up into portions and wrap them up individually. The dough will last 3 days refrigerated or 1 month frozen.

Can you over knead dough? ›

Instead, the range of which a dough can be properly kneaded is quite broad. It's possible to under-knead the mixture by a small amount, or over-knead it and still yield a delicious loaf of bread. Doughs usually flop when they are severely under or over-kneaded. That being said, it is quite easy to over-knead dough.

Why is my bread gummy? ›

For example, if your homemade bread keeps turning out gummy, it may be a problem with your baking temperature. It should come as no surprise that the outside of a loaf of bread cooks faster than the inside, seeing as the heat touches the exterior first before it is able to penetrate the interior.

Is bread flour the same as self-rising flour? ›

Once again, self-rising flour is not the same thing as all-purpose flour nor is it the same thing as cake flour, bread flour, or pastry flour. Self-rising flour is almost exactly like all-purpose flour, but it has added salt and leavening mixed into it.

Is there a difference between self-rising and all-purpose flour? ›

Self-rising flour and all-purpose flour have similar properties with two key differences: ingredients and uses. Ingredient-wise, self-rising flour contains all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder, while all-purpose flour only contains ground endosperm.

What happens if you don't refrigerate dough before baking? ›

Popping your dough in the fridge allows the fats to cool. As a result, the cookies will expand more slowly, holding onto their texture. If you skip the chilling step, you're more likely to wind up with flat, sad disks instead of lovely, chewy cookies. Cookies made from chilled dough are also much more flavorful.

What is a simple dough recipe for play? ›

It's easy to learn how to make homemade playdough. For this quick, kid-friend version, in a nonstick bowl, first whisk together the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Next, add in the oil, hot water, and food coloring. Using a rubber spatula, stir it all together until a dough forms.
