What can I make with 2 ingredient dough?

This dough is surprisingly versatile. Besides pretzel bites, I’ve used it for quick bagels, flatbreads, mini pizzas, even biscuit-style garlic knots. If you’ve got Greek yogurt and self-rising flour, you’ve got options. It’s a solid base when you don’t have time, or patience for yeast.

What is the secret ingredient that makes a pretzel taste like a pretzel?

It’s not a spice or fancy flour, it’s the baking soda bath. A quick dip in hot water mixed with baking soda gives the dough that signature dark crust and lightly tangy flavor. Without it, they’ll taste more like dinner rolls than pretzels.

What are the ingredients in pretzel bites?

Traditionally, you’d use yeast, water, flour, sugar, and salt. But this recipe simplifies it down to just self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. You’ll also need a bit of baking soda for the dip, butter for brushing, and coarse salt for that classic finish.

What is the Hungry Girl 2 ingredient dough?

It’s the same base used here, just self-rising flour and nonfat Greek yogurt. It became popular through Hungry Girl for being low-calorie and easy to work with. It’s often used in healthy baking swaps, but honestly, it’s also just really handy on busy days.
