How Does 2 Ingredient Dough Work

You combine self rising flour with Greek yogurt. Baking soda in the flour helps it rise, and the yogurt makes the dough soft and pliable.

While the base dough is two ingredients, we added a little sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of cinnamon to flavor the dough.

You can stick to the basic recipe if you want. We just felt that the dough needed a little something extra to taste more like cinnamon rolls.

How to Make Homemade Cinnamon Rolls without Yeast

Start by adding the Greek yogurt and the self rising flour to a large mixing bowl. Add some vanilla, sugar and cinnamon, and mix well.

This dough is different from yeast dough. So, if you’ve ever made traditional homemade cinnamon rolls before, don’t worry that it doesn’t look the same.

It will also be on the sticky side. You can add a little extra flour if needed.

Form the dough into a ball, then place it on a well-floured surface. You’ll have to knead the dough for a couple of minutes until it’s no longer sticky.

Roll the dough into a small rectangle. Then, spread the cinnamon filling over the dough.

Roll the dough over the filling. We found that using a knife or a dough scraper made this part easier and kept the dough from sticking.

Pinch the dough, and cut the roll into evenly into smaller rolls. You’ll get about 8 to 10 rolls from this recipe.

Place the rolls into a buttered baking dish. Then, brush the tops with a little melted butter, and bake.
