2 Ingredient Dough (3 Ways!) – Recipe Diaries (2)

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.

    I use this two ingredient weight watcher dough all the time. my cinnamon rolls have one point or less because I use the spray on the dough sometimes sometimes I don't use it, and I use cinnamon and diet brown sugar. you couldn't get about 14 cinnamon rolls out of this much dough. I also use diet powdered sugar for an icing. depending how many I make sometimes it's 0.80 on the points. excellent my girls love them. and these are older girls like 60.

  2. Jenna says

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

  3. Jenna says

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

  4. Erica says

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

  5. Jenna says

    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? ›

There's no need to let it rest! Top and bake how you would normally — we like to use a 500 degree F oven with a preheated baking stone on the bottom rack. You can also refrigerate the dough up to two days and let it come to room temperature before rolling out.

What is the healthiest dough? ›

Whole wheat flour is higher in fiber and nutrients, making it a healthier choice. Cauliflower Crust: Create a low-carb, gluten-free pizza crust by using cauliflower rice as the base. Mix cauliflower rice with egg and cheese to form a dough, then bake it into a crust.

What does yogurt do to dough? ›

Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt holds the dough together and ensures a tender texture.

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

The dough will last 3 days refrigerated or 1 month frozen. So double up on the recipe and have it ready for whenever you need some dinner rolls. Whether you've stored the dough in the freezer or fridge, let it slowly warm up on the counter to room temperature, still wrapped, before using it.

What happens when you add yogurt to flour? ›

The result is a delicious bread you will have trouble controlling yourself around. The texture is soft and fluffy and the taste is slightly sweet but kind of salty.

Is self-rising flour the same as all-purpose? ›

While it's similar to all-purpose flour, self-raising flour isn't as rich in protein as all-purpose flour. Also like all-purpose flour, self-rising flour is enriched with added nutrition. It also contains salt and baking powder that has been distributed evenly throughout the flour and acts as a leavening agent.

What can I use if I don't have self-rising flour? ›

It's easy to make a self-rising flour substitute at home. Here's our Test Kitchen's simple method to make self-rising flour: For every cup of self-rising flour, substitute one cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda.

Is bread flour same as self-rising flour? ›

No. Self-raising flour is effectively plain (all-purpose) flour that comes pre-mixed with baking powder. Strong (bread) flour is flour that contains more gluten than plain (all-purpose) flour. This makes it particularly suitable for making bread, which depends on developing gluten chains within the dough.

How to make pink cloud dough? ›

Start with equal parts strawberry yogurt and cornstarch. Stir the mixture together with a batter spoon. Slowly add more cornstarch as you mix if you are finding it to be too sticky. You have some wiggle room on this.

How to make fairy dough? ›

How do you make fizzy cloud dough? ›

Mix flour, baking soda, and vegetable oil to make the cloud dough. Use spray bottles or eye droppers to spray vinegar into the mixture and watch it fizz!

What is the healthiest dough for pizza? ›

Both the cauliflower crust and the whole-wheat crust offer fiber and protein, which play a key role in weight loss by helping to keep you feeling full and satisfied after a meal. But if you're not trying to cut carbs and are looking for that traditional pizza pie flavor, the whole-wheat crust is what you want.

Is homemade dough healthier? ›

That said, most homemade breads are likely healthier than store-bought breads, which are often high in sugar and preservatives. One benefit of making your own bread is that you can control the ingredients. For example, you can use whole wheat flour instead of white flour, or add healthy toppings like nuts and seeds.

Is dough conditioner healthy? ›

We can talk about the horrible dough conditioners with long names such as Bromide (Potassium Bromate), which messes with the thyroid's ability to produce and use iodine, and is also said to cause many different kinds of cancers specifically in the kidneys and thyroid, cause DNA damage and have harmful effects on ...
