Since this recipe was posted back in Jan of 2018 I have made SO MANY recipes with this dough now.

See my recipes below in the section titled other 2 Ingredient Dough Recipes!
2 Ingredient Dough Variations
This is one of the most common questions I get asked about this recipe. I honestly don't have the time to try all the different flour combinations or Greek Yogurt alternatives that will go with this. Any other flour than self-rising flour will need some baking powder or baking soda added to it to help it rise. Some flours like almond flour, the ratio to Greek Yogurt might not be the same. This is the only one I've tested and it was way too wet.
If you think another ingredient will work just test it and see, I'm not stopping you! 🙂
Substitutes for Greek Yogurt - plain regular yogurt, sour cream, dairy-free yogurts (for those with allergies)
Gluten-Free Option: 1 cup Bob's gluten-free self-rising flour to 1 cup Greek yogurt
Low Carb Flours: almond flour, Carb quick, or any other low carb flour option might not work with the same ratio below. Play around with the ratios.
Pretzel Bites
For the pretzel bites, take one piece of the dough and roll it out into a long rope. Then cut (use a bench cutter or knife) them into tiny bitesize pieces like the picture shows above. Brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle them with some Everything Bagel Seasoning. Use the same time and temperature for baking 350 for 18 to 22 minutes.
Cheese Sauce: Tostitos Medium Salsa Con Queso is what I used. It comes in a jar and usually found by their chips. 2 tablespoons is 1 smart point!
Seasoning: The seasoning I used for the pretzel bites was Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
Pizza:
Pretty self-explanatory here. Roll out the dough into a pizza shape and add toppings. Use a higher temperature for baking pizza. I usually do 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
Baking the crust first also works. Brush pizza dough lightly with a little olive oil or spray the dough with cooking spray. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Pre-bake the dough on a hot pizza stone or in pizza pan for 6 minutes. Take it out then add toppings.

Recipe FAQS
Having trouble getting the dough to work? Here are some tips to help.
If you don't want to use all the dough right away stick it on a plate with some saran wrap and place that in the fridge. This dough can also be frozen. Wrap it tightly in saran wrap and place the dough in the freezer until ready to use.
If you do not have any self-rising flour on hand you can make your own with all purpose flour! Self-rising flour is made of all-purpose flour and baking powder. The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt

I have tried this dough with an egg before making cinnamon rolls with it. It works.
