Tips for Perfect 2-Ingredient Bread
- Use thick Greek yogurt. The creamier and thicker the yogurt, the better your dough will hold together.
- Adjust flour as needed. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour. If too dry, add a spoonful more yogurt.
- Flavor it up. Mix in herbs, shredded cheese, or even garlic powder for savory variations. Add a spoonful of honey or cinnamon for sweet ones.
- Check doneness. Bread should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Variations to Try
This dough adapts beautifully to whatever you’re craving:
- Cheddar & Herb Loaf: Mix in ½ cup shredded cheddar and 1 teaspoon dried herbs before baking.
- Garlic Knots: Roll into ropes, tie into knots, brush with garlic butter, and bake.
- Breakfast Bagels: Add blueberries or raisins to the dough, then shape into bagels for a slightly sweet morning treat.
- Rustic Rolls: Divide into smaller balls and bake for soft dinner rolls—perfect with soup or stew.
