Raise your hand if you’ve ever looked at a loaf of fresh bread and thought:
“I could never make that.”
No sourdough starter. No kneading for 20 minutes. No fancy equipment.
But here’s the truth: 👉 You can make real, fluffy, golden bread with just two ingredients — and it starts in your refrigerator.
Meet the viral favorite: 2-Ingredient Flatbread or No-Knead Yogurt Bread — a minimalist miracle that turns Greek yogurt and self-rising flour into something warm, soft, and totally shareable.
Let’s make bread so simple, even beginners will feel like bakers.
Because real cooking isn’t about complexity. It’s about confidence — one surprising recipe at a time. 💛
🔥 What Are the Two Ingredients?
Simple as it sounds:
1. Greek Yogurt (plain, full-fat) – 1 cup
Why? It provides moisture, protein, and acts as a natural leavening agent when combined with baking powder
2. Self-Rising Flour – 1 cup
Why? It already contains flour, baking powder, and salt — the lift you need without adding anything extra
✅ That’s it. No yeast. No eggs. No oil. Just two staples you might already have.

🧑🍳 Easy 2-Ingredient Bread Recipe
🍴 Ingredients (Makes 1 small loaf or 6 flatbreads)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat works best)
- 1 cup self-rising flour
✨ Optional add-ins (after mastering the base):
- Garlic powder, herbs, cheese, seeds
🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dough
- In a bowl, combine yogurt and flour.
- Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Use hands to gently knead 2–3 times until smooth (don’t overwork).
💡 The dough will be soft but manageable — like playdough.
Step 2: Shape & Rest
- Roll into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flatten slightly into a round loaf (about 1-inch thick).
- Let rest 10–15 minutes while oven preheats.
Step 3: Bake
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
- Cool 5 minutes before slicing.
🔥 Pro Tip: For flatbreads (like naan), divide dough into 6 pieces, roll thin, and cook in a hot skillet 2–3 minutes per side.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can I use regular yogurt?
Not ideal — regular yogurt has more water and may make the dough too wet. Strain it first (cheesecloth or coffee filter) to thicken.
❓ Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend(check label — should include baking powder and salt).
❓ Why didn’t my bread rise?
- Old baking powder in flour
- Overmixing
- Oven not hot enough
📌 Test your self-rising flour: pinch some in water — it should bubble.
