Key Ingredients for Easy Dinner Rolls
To make these delicious homemade dinner rolls, you will need the following key ingredients:
- Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is the base of our simple two-ingredient dough. Not only does it add tons of beneficial nutrients and protein, but it also imparts moisture to the dough.
- Self raising flour: Self-rising flour is the fancy name for all-purpose flour mixed with pre-measured salt and baking powder. It allows the dough to rise without adding any ingredients and prevents it from becoming too sticky.
- Unsalted butter: Unsalted butter is the perfect low-sodium topping for these healthy dinner rolls. Unsalted butter has no added salt, which means it is the most authentic butter available. However, you can always opt for salted butter if you prefer.
Recipe Tips and Variations
Here are some of my top tips for bringing these delicious two-ingredient dough dinner rolls to life:
- Add a little seasoning. Just a drizzle of olive oil and garlic powder gives these dinner rolls a ton of delicious flavor. You can also try adding Italian seasoning for a little Italian flavor.
- Add some cheese. Cheese and bread are meant to be eaten together, so why not melt some cheese on your dinner rolls? My top choices are Parmesan, Feta, or Mozzarella.
- Add protein. Chopped bacon or sausage adds delicious protein to these dinner rolls. If you’ve added some melted cheese, these rolls instantly become the perfect breakfast sandwich.
- Add fresh herbs: Take things to the next level with some fresh chopped herbs. Add them directly to the dough.
What is double dough?
Two-ingredient dough is one of my favorite baking trends. It creates a low-carb and easy-to-make dough using just two basic ingredients. Greek yogurt and self-raising flour work together as a dream team to form two-ingredient dough, a low-carb alternative dough that can satisfy many of your baking needs.
To make it, all you have to do is mix the two ingredients by hand or using a blender. Then, place the dough on a floured surface and knead a few times. In about a minute, you’ll have a ball of kneaded dough that’s ready to be sliced and used to make a variety of dishes, like pizza dough, pretzels, and these dinner rolls.
Tips for storing leftover dinner rolls
Luckily for you and me, two-ingredient dough is very easy to store. This means you can make a big batch that can be used in a ton of different recipes. (Think: pizza rolls, cinnamon buns, cheddar cookies, bagels, hamburgers and breadsticks.)
To store unused two-ingredient dough, seal in an airtight storage container and refrigerate for up to 10 days. This gives you plenty of time to come up with your next two-ingredient dough baking mix.
But if you’ve made the dough into these healthy dinner rolls, here’s how to store the leftovers:
- Seal leftovers in airtight storage containers and store Store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To save the volume longer, you can Freeze them for up to 3 months.
- To reheat frozen rolls, thaw and wrap in aluminum foil. Then, reheat in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
FAQ
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about this dish:
What if my dough is too sticky?
Dough that’s too sticky is easy to fix because all you have to do is add more self-raising flour. On the other hand, if your dough seems too dry, you can compensate by adding a few tablespoons of Greek yogurt.

Yes! In fact, for all you carb lovers out there, these two-ingredient dough dinner rolls are your new best friend. Not only are these dinner rolls a delicious low-carb and low-calorie bread option, they’re packed with protein and nutrients. This means they will help satisfy your appetite and aid in weight loss or healthy weight management.
How does a two-ingredient dough work?
The double-ingredient dough contains no yeast or eggs, leading some to question how it can still rise. Because self-rising flour contains baking powder, this dough can rise without yeast. Additionally, Greek yogurt makes the dough soft and pliable, making it easy to work with.
