I absolutely love when I stumble upon recipe hacks or tips that make preparing a dish much simpler. So when I came across this easy 2-ingredient dough recipe, I was so excited and dazzled by the endless possibilities of things to make!
I learned about this dough from a friend who was part of the Weight Watchers program. Ever since then, I’ve used this dough for all sorts of things, like to make bagel, pizza crust, and even flatbread.
what is WW 2-ingredient dough?
This 2-ingredient dough is part of the Weight Watchers diet, and is known as the “magic dough” because of how versatile it is. It requires only (yes, that’s right) 2 ingredients, that is equal parts self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, and comes together quickly!
Because the dough requires no yeast, there’s no need for any resting time! The self-rising flour (which has baking powder in it) is the ingredient that helps give the dough a bit of rise.
This simple recipe is a great alternative to store-bought dough. If you’d like, you can also freeze some of the leftover dough for the future!
Ingredients You’ll Need
(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)
- Self-rising flour: All-purpose flour that’s pre-mixed with baking powder and a bit of salt.
- Greek yogurt: It’s important to use Greek yoghurt (not Greek-style yoghurt) instead of plain regular yoghurt as it has a thicker texture, which helps in holding the dough together.
- Olive oil
- Jalapeno
- Sharp cheddar cheese
- Parmesan
- Italian seasoning (optional)
- Hot honey (optional)
how to make 2-ingredient dough cheesy jalapeno bread
- Preheat oven to 400 F and grate the cheese.
- To a bowl, add the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Mix with a spoon and eventually with a clean hand. Lightly knead it or keep doing a folding motion until you can form a ball (see notes).
- Transfer to a lined baking tray and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Flatten it to your desired shape and thickness.
- Add another drizzle of olive oil, sliced jalapeños, the shredded cheese, and optional, a dash of Italian seasoning on top (see notes). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve while hot and optional but highly recommended, drizzle hot honey on top. Enjoy!
notes for 2-ingredient dough cheesy jalapeno bread
Knead the dough into a ball
The dough ball doesn’t have to be smooth or kneaded perfectly. Just as long as you’re able to form it into a ball.
Why is my 2-ingredient dough so sticky?
Some Greek yoghurts are more watery than others. The extra moisture can result in the dough becoming stickier.
If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it’s too dry and not forming a dough, add a bit more Greek yogurt. Add 1 tbsp at a time for both.
How to make a crispy crust?
For a crispy crust, I like to add more parmesan to the edges.
Can you freeze WW 2-ingredient dough?
Yes, you can freeze the dough! Simply place it in a zip bag or saran wrap it, then store in the freezer. Whenever you’d like to use the dough, thaw it out until its at room temperature before adding on your toppings.
However, it will take longer to thaw if you store the dough in a ball shape. So you can roll it out into your desired thickness before storing.
