I think I've become obsessed with this 2 ingredient dough recipe just like the rest of the Weight Watcher (#weightwatchers) community has on Instagram. Look up the hashtag #2ingredientdough to see what everyone is making with it!
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

Jenna- thank you for sharing this recipe. I am not a cook, but this is easy-peasy. I made bagels with my first batch and LOVED them. My husband loved them too. I will be making some more dough today and will do pretzel bites and pizza crust. Having something easy that really gets the desired results makes cooking a lot more fun for me.
Jenna says
Yes
Lisa says
Could you use whole wheat flour to make this recipe?
Kate says
I made this tonight for pizza and bagels. I used 3/4 cup of fage yogurt and 1 cup self rising flour and it worked perfectly! It wasn't too sticky and tasted the same! Love this bread!
Zoe says
The dough isn't sticky for me, I always use skyr yogurt and it works better.
Jenna says
Oh, I know this dough is so great! I've been going through some of my old recipes on my site and I'm going to update the recipe to make them more WW friendly. 🙂
Michelle says
Love this! My WW coach and I were talking about this and cloud bread, I have to say I like this more, totally worth the 3 points for the quarter.
I made it twice in one day! Thanks for adding the note about the "extra flour" for the surface and hands, I would sprinkle a little extra flour on the dough as I was kneading it.
I have shared this recipe with several coworkers and my 13-year-old daughter LOVES it! It reminds me so much of sourdough bread, and that is like my FAV! And breaking that quarter to making a bunch of other things, I made dough twists, and pretzel bites, and a personal pizza crust. Not all out of the same quarter, but I was able to make a variety of things just out of each quarter.
Mary Ann says
First time to try this. A little flat,but taste not too bad. Will try again.
Rayenetta says
Used soy yogurt because I'm allergic to dairy. It is a little sticky but it works great.
Lori josefowski says
Hello i have made this twice but one says baking powder and then it says baking soda? Both times it just sticks to me regardless of the extra flour. I use the gluten free flour and yogurt wondering if I should just use more flour in the recipe???
