Yogurt bread is one of those wonderfully forgiving recipes that works beautifully for beginners. It comes together in minutes with just four pantry ingredients, no yeast, and no long rising times, yet the result is a tender, satisfying bread you will want to make again and again.

Because this dough does not rise like traditional bread, it bakes into a dense, hearty crumb that is ideal for loading up with fillings. It holds up perfectly to saucy dishes too, since that sturdy texture is exactly what you want for mopping up every last drop.

We like to use thick Greek yogurt here, which gives the rolls a lovely richness and helps the dough come together quickly. If you happen to have self-rising flour on hand, you can use it and skip the baking powder entirely.
Ingredients for Yogurt Bread
This recipe makes 4 rolls.
- 165 g all-purpose flour (about 2½ yogurt cups)
- 5 g baking powder (1 level teaspoon)
- 125 g Greek yogurt at room temperature (1 yogurt cup)
- ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Yogurt Bread Step by Step
1. Combine the ingredients
First, place 165 g of all-purpose flour, 5 g of baking powder, 125 g of room-temperature Greek yogurt, and ½ teaspoon of salt in a bowl. If you do not have a kitchen scale, you can use the yogurt cup as your measure since it gives a good approximation; simply fill it with unpacked flour and use 2½ cups of it.

2. Mix the dough
Mix these ingredients with a spoon, a spatula, or your hands until you get a smooth, homogeneous dough.

3. Divide the dough
Next, stretch the dough out on the counter into a log shape and divide it into 4 equal portions.

4. Shape and rest the rolls
Roll the portions of dough on a floured counter into balls, pressing them slightly flat. Cover with a cloth and let them rest for 15 minutes.

5. Cook the first side
Heat a skillet and place the balls of dough in it. Cook the yogurt rolls over low heat for 10 minutes with the skillet covered.

6. Flip and cook the second side
Flip the rolls and cook them for 10 more minutes, also covered, until they are golden on the other side.

7. Let them cool slightly
Remove the rolls from the skillet and let them cool on a rack.

8. Serve the yogurt rolls
Once they have cooled, they are ready to serve or fill however you like.

Tips for the Best Yogurt Bread
Use thick Greek yogurt
We prefer Greek yogurt for this recipe because it is thicker than regular yogurt and works wonderfully for these quick rolls. The extra body helps the dough come together without turning sticky or slack.
Try self-rising flour
If you have self-rising flour in your pantry, the kind with baking powder already mixed in, you can use it and skip adding the baking powder separately. Just keep the same amount of flour and you are good to go.
Flavor and serving ideas
This is the basic version, but if you feel like experimenting you can season the dough with chopped fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley. A pressed garlic clove also adds a delicious touch to these rolls. If you have a barbecue, try making them on it, you will love them. Yogurt bread works as a side for saucy dishes, split open and filled like sandwiches, or served alongside a spread of cheeses and cured meats.
