Ingredients You’ll Need
You really can’t get simpler than this! Each ingredient plays a vital role to create the perfect texture and taste in your bread rolls.
- Self-raising flour (1 cup): Provides structure and a built-in leavening agent, so no yeast needed.
- Yogurt (1 cup): Adds moisture and a lovely tang, keeping the rolls tender and soft.
- Egg wash (optional): Brushed on top for a shiny, golden crust that looks as good as it tastes.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Bread Rolls – No Yeast, No Kneading Recipe
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Start by setting your oven to 180ºC (350ºF). This ensures it’s nice and hot by the time your dough is ready, perfect for getting that golden crust we all love.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and yogurt. Stir them together until a soft dough begins to form. It might feel a little sticky at first, but don’t worry — that’s exactly what you want.
Step 3: Shape Your Rolls
Empty the dough onto a floured surface and gently bring it together with your hands. Avoid overworking it to keep the bread light and airy. Then cut the dough into even-sized pieces and roll each one into a small mini loaf shape. Perfectly portioned rolls ready for baking.
Step 4: Optional Egg Wash
For an extra touch of golden perfection, brush each roll with a little beaten egg. This step is optional but gives your bread rolls a beautiful glossy finish that’s sure to impress.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place your rolls on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’ve risen nicely and have a gorgeous golden color. Let them cool just a bit before serving, or enjoy warm straight from the oven.

Garnishes
A sprinkle of coarse sea salt or a light brush of melted butter right after baking can enhance the flavor and texture beautifully. Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme pressed gently on top before baking add a lovely aromatic touch.
Side Dishes
These rolls make a fantastic companion to hearty soups, stews, or salads. Their soft crumb and mild flavor balance rich dishes perfectly, soaking up sauces with ease and making every meal feel a little more special.
Creative Ways to Present
Turn your extra rolls into mini sliders with your favorite fillings or slice and toast them to pair with jams, cheeses, or even sweet spreads for breakfast. These versatile rolls invite endless creativity.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Once cooled, store your bread rolls in an airtight container or resealable bag. They’ll stay fresh and soft for 3-4 days, making them a great option for quick snacks or meals throughout the week.
Freezing
If you want to keep these rolls longer, freezing is a great option. Wrap them well in plastic wrap or place in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months without losing their texture or flavor.
Reheating
To warm up leftover rolls, simply pop them in the oven at 160ºC (320ºF) for about 5-7 minutes. This refreshes their softness and brings back that fresh-baked warmth we all adore.
FAQs
Can I use plain flour instead of self-raising flour?
Absolutely! Just add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to 1 cup of plain flour to substitute for self-raising flour, and you’re good to go.
Do I have to use yogurt?
Yogurt is key here because it adds moisture and the right tangy flavor to your rolls. Using buttermilk is a possible alternative, but regular milk won’t give the same result.
Can I make these rolls dairy-free?
Yes! Substitute the yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt to keep this recipe suitable for dairy-free diets.
Why is no kneading needed in this recipe?
The self-raising flour and yogurt create a dough that doesn’t require kneading to develop gluten, making the process quicker and easier without sacrificing texture.
How do I know when the rolls are fully baked?
Look for a golden brown color on top and a slight rise. You can also tap the bottom to make sure it sounds hollow, indicating that the inside is baked through.
