How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough

Use self-rising flour and non-fat Greek yogurt. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you’ll need to add baking powder (2 teaspoons), xantham gum (1 teaspoon), and salt (1/2 teaspoon) to make 2 ingredient dough without it. Makes it 5 ingredient dough but I won’t tell anyone.[caption id="attachment_95789" align="aligncenter" width="700"]

How Long Does 2 Ingredient Dough Last?

Keep it in a Tupperware container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Can You Make 2 Ingredient Dough Gluten-Free?

There are gluten-free flour alternatives that are 1:1 ratio and great for baking, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the best option for 2 ingredient dough.

In order to make this dough gluten-free, you can useBob’s baking flour withadd 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon xantham gum, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, to get the same consistency. Of course, you no longer have two ingredients in the dough, but that’s okay. It’s now gluten-free and it tastes great!

How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough Dairy-Free

You can use coconut milk yogurt in place of the Greek yogurt to make this 2 ingredient dough dairy-free, just make sure you count the points if you’re on Weight Watchers.

How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough Taste Better

The only complaint I’ve heard about the 2 ingredient dough is that it tastes “sour”. I always add so much flavor to mine that I don’t notice that taste! The best way to get rid of the sour taste from the yogurt is to add spices or seasonings of some sort.

For example, if you’re making donuts or any type of dessert, you can add vanilla, cinnamon, or other similar flavors.

If you’re making pizza dough or breadsticks, add garlic and red pepper.

Of course, adding ingredients means adding points if you’re not careful, so make sure you’re counting everything you add if you are on Weight Watchers.

Troubleshooting 2 Ingredient Dough

2 ingredient dough too dry? Add more yogurt, a teaspoon at a time, until the right consistency is achieved.

2 ingredient dough sticky? Add more self-rising flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the right consistency is achieved. Always be sure to work on a well-floured surface so the dough doesn’t stick.

Does your dough taste sour? Add more spices!

Weight Watchers Points Information

One Cup of Dough is a total of 12 Points. For example, 1 cup of dough will make 4 small/individual pizza crusts. So, each crust (assuming you quarter it) would be 3 points. I hope that makes sense. 1/4 of the dough equals 3 points! All point values through this post are listed for the Freestyle plan for Weight Watchers.

Why is 2 ingredient dough healthier? ›

What can I add to make dough less sticky? ›

As mentioned above, add small increments of flour as needed, as little as possible. Use a dough scraper to ensure you're getting all the ingredients off the side of the bowl and mixing them in. Use a small amount of oil to prevent dough from sticking to your hands too much and aid the kneading process.

Does oil make dough less sticky? ›

We prefer a less common approach that replaces the flour with vegetable oil. Rubbing a teaspoon of the neutral-flavored fat onto the countertop works just as well as flour does to minimize sticking, and the dough readily absorbs excess oil without any negative effect on its consistency when either raw or baked.

What is the secret to making dough? ›

Tip #1: Don't add too much extra flour. The amount of flour you need to bring the dough together into a smooth, elastic, and cohesive ball will depend on your kitchen environment. If the dough is tacky, or even a little sticky, don't worry. It will absorb moisture as it rests and rises.

Why do bakers add sugar to dough? ›

Adding sugar to the dough provides the yeast with the food it needs to thrive. Flavor: Sugar adds sweetness to the bread, which can help balance out the flavors of other ingredients in the dough. The type and amount of sugar used can also affect the overall flavor profile of the bread.

Why does Greek yogurt work in dough? ›

With just self-rising flour and plain Greek yogurt, you can make almost any bread-based creation you can think of. Thick, Greek-style yogurt gives the dough its moisture and tenderness, while the leavening agents in the flour allow the dough to rise without yeast.

Do baby powder and conditioner make cloud dough? ›

What is a substitute for cream of tartar in playdough? ›

The biggest benefit of using a recipe that involves making Playdough without cream of tartar is the cost savings. Cream of tartar can be expensive, and it's easy to make a fun recipe without it. Instead, you can substitute vinegar or lemon juice for the cream of tartar, and still have an awesome end result.

Why does my dough feel too sticky? ›

Sounds like you have too much water and not enough flour. If the dough isn't supposed to be sticky, just add more flour or coat your hands in it. Alternatively, use a wooden spoon to knead it if the recipe calls for it to be somewhat sticky and then wipe it off with flour.

What is the difference between sticky and tacky dough? ›

These two words have basically the same meaning (able or likely to stick), but "tacky" is weaker - it means "only slightly sticky".

How to make dough less sticky without flour? ›

Oil does as well and is better suited for keeping the dough from sticking to a bowl or rising container than water is. Water is more readily absorbed. Paul Hollywood shows how using oil instead of flour to knead bread, which helps keep the texture of the dough consistent.

Does proofing dough make it less sticky? ›

In the end, I find little difference if the dough is proofed in the refrigerator between 10 to 16 hours or so. However, if you find a dough that's sticky, slack, and spreads excessively when baking, it has likely overproofed and needs a reduction in the total fermentation time.
