Easy 3-Ingredient Greek Yogurt Dinner Rolls


  • Author: Tara

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125–130 g) self-rising flour
  • 1 cup (225–240 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, optional, for brushing

The dough itself uses just two ingredients. The optional butter gives the baked rolls a softer, richer finish.

No self-rising flour? Make your own

  • 1 cup (125–130 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Whisk these together well before adding the yogurt.

Equipment you will need

  • Medium mixing bowl and a spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups or a kitchen scale
  • Pastry brush
  • Wire cooling rack

Instructions

These five steps are quick and simple. Preheat the oven first, since the dough should go in right after it is shaped.

Step 1: Preheat the oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the dough

  • Add the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour to a medium bowl.
  • Stir with a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to gently bring it together.
  • The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. If it is too sticky to handle, add flour a teaspoon at a time. Avoid adding too much, or the rolls may become dense.

Step 3: Shape the rolls

  • Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  • Gently shape each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between the rolls.
  • For a smoother finish, lightly dampen your fingertips and gently shape the tops.

Step 4: Bake until golden

  • Bake for 18-23 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden and cooked through.
  • Check the bottoms and centers before removing them. If they still look doughy inside, bake for another 3-5 minutes.

Step 5: Brush with butter

  • If desired, brush the warm rolls with melted butter immediately after baking.
  • Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy them warm for the softest texture.
