2 Ingredient Artisan Yogurt Bread
Ingredients
- 4 cups (0.5 kg) self rising flour
- 2⅓ cups (0.57 kg) plain whole milk yogurt
- Optional: everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- In an extra large bowl SIFT in the self rising flour, yogurt and mix together until incorporated – use your hands at the end. Next, knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, for a minute, until a mostly uniform ball forms. Transfer back to the bowl and cover the top with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a medium rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place into the oven to preheat.
- Sprinkle the parchment paper with cornmeal (or a little flour). Shape the dough into an oval disc about 3 inches high. Carefully place it onto the hot baking sheet and sprinkle the top with everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds. Bake for 40-50 minutes and cover with an aluminum foil tent at the 35 minute mark if browning too quickly. For doneness, the interior should read 195℉ (90℃) using an instant read thermometer. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- If you don’t have self rising flour, combine 4 cups all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt.

Can I use whole wheat flour? Thank you
Fantastic recipe! Perfect for my carb eating hubby!
Do you have a low carb version for me that works?
I’d like to make this, but I want more protein in it. Would it be possible to use Greekwhole yogurt?
I have made this bread a number of times, my husband loves it and can’t get enough of it.
Hi Carol, I’m so glad you both loved the bread! thank you for sharing your feedback
Can I bake in dutch oven? Temp and time please
Great bread! I made mine with whole milk Greek yogurt but the dough seemed rather dry. I added 2 more heaping tablespoons, one at a time, until I had a dough that held together. Baked as recipe instructed and it’s delicious!
I’ve made this 3 times, gluten free, and I love it! The GF flour yields a dense, firm bread that is easy to slice and toast. The crust is great. I also add to the batter grated cheese—parmigiano or Gruyère or padano or whatever I have, and so far it’s been delicious every time. This time I found myself wondering, what if I baked this in a Bundt pan? So I did it. The result was a perfect golden wreath of a loaf! And all the slices are the same size, haha. Perfect for a tray of appetizers!
Thank you Mary! So glad you tried it and I love the idea of baking this bread in a bundt pan! Thank you for sharing that!
I made this yesterday, and it was perfect. Nice crust and soft on the inside.
It’s a keeper!!!
