What Are The Bread Rolls?
Two-ingredient White Bread Rolls are a quick bread made without yeast. Instead of rising through fermentation, they rely on self-rising flour, which already contains baking powder and salt. When combined with yogurt, the dough becomes soft, tender, and easy to work with.
The result is a simple white bread roll that’s perfect for sandwiches, dinner rolls, or enjoying warm with butter.
Recipe Ingredients

As mentioned above, you need only two ingredients for this bread roll recipe
1. Self-Rising Flour
The self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, making it ideal for quick bread rolls that require no yeast or additional ingredients.
If you don’t have self-rising flour, don’t worry, you can easily make it at home (instructions below).
2. Plain Yogurt
You can use no-fat, low-fat, or full-fat yogurt. Greek plain yogurt works especially well because it’s thicker, but feel free to use whatever yogurt you have in your fridge. Yogurt helps tenderize the dough and keeps the bread rolls soft and fluffy.
How to Make Self-Rising Flour at Home
This is simply a blend of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. You can easily make it at home by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. It’s super simple, so if you don’t have self-rising flour in your pantry, no stress, just make your own. The baking powder is the key ingredient that helps the dough rise beautifully while baking.

How to Make White Bread Rolls with 2 Ingredients Step-By-Step

Step 1: Mix the Dough

There’s really just one simple step to making this dough. I used a mixer, but if you don’t have one, no problem at all, you can mix everything by hand just as easily.
In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of self-rising flour and 1½ cups of plain yogurt. Mix with a spoon until it starts coming together into a soft dough. It may look a little rough at first, but that’s totally normal.
If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour. If it’s too dry, add a spoonful of yogurt.

Step 2: Bring the Dough Together
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it for about 1–2 minutes, just until it becomes smooth. This isn’t traditional bread kneading, no hard work here. A few gentle folds are enough.
Step 3: Shape the Rolls

Divide the dough into 8–10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Place them on a baking tray. If you like soft, pull-apart rolls, place them close together. If you like crisp edges, leave a little space.
Step 4: Bake The Rolls

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden and smell amazing.
Take them out and let them cool slightly… if you can wait.

FAQ’S
Can I make white bread rolls without a stand mixer?
Yes! These rolls can be mixed and kneaded by hand. Just knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
What type of yeast works best for white bread rolls?
You can use instant yeast or active dry yeast. If using active dry yeast, dissolve it in warm milk or water first and let it foam before mixing.
How do I know when the dough is kneaded enough?
The dough should be soft, smooth, and slightly springy. Press it gently with your finger—if it slowly springs back, it’s ready.
Why are my bread rolls dense instead of fluffy?
Dense rolls are usually caused by not enough kneading, expired yeast, or insufficient rising time. Make sure your yeast is fresh and allow the dough to rise until doubled.
Can I use milk instead of water?
Yes! Using milk makes the rolls softer and richer in flavor. Whole milk works best, but low-fat milk can also be used.
How do I get a golden, shiny top on bread rolls?
Brush the rolls with milk or egg wash before baking. For extra softness, brush with butter right after baking.
Can I freeze white bread rolls?
Yes. Freeze baked rolls once completely cooled. Store in an airtight bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
