This 2-Ingredient Bread is a true game changer for anyone who wants fresh, warm bread without yeast or hours of kneading. The magic comes from the simple chemistry between self-rising flour, which already contains leavening, and Greek yogurt. The yogurt’s natural acidity reacts with the flour to create lift, while its fat and protein produce a soft, moist crumb with a flavor surprisingly reminiscent of sourdough.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Fluffy Bread
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms, then gently knead by hand for about 30 seconds, just until smooth.
Step 2: Shape the Bread
Choose your preferred shape:
- Loaf: Press the dough into a greased 8×4-inch loaf pan
- Rolls: Divide into 6–8 portions and place in a greased skillet
- Round Boule: Shape into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet
Step 3: Bake Until Golden
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake according to shape:
- Loaf: 35–40 minutes
- Rolls: 20–25 minutes
- Boule: 30–35 minutes
The bread is ready when the crust is golden and the internal temperature reaches 190°F.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the bread cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This allows the crumb to set and prevents gumminess. Serve warm with your favorite spreads.
