Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, full-fat preferred
Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing tops after baking
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir until a shaggy dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1 to 2 minutes until the dough becomes smoother and easier to handle. Avoid over-kneading, as this can make the rolls dense.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball using your hands.
Arrange the dough balls evenly in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each one for expansion.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are puffed.
Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired. Serve warm.

Storage/Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
To freeze, allow the rolls to cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat directly from frozen in the oven.
FAQs
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt works best because it is thicker. Regular yogurt may make the dough too sticky and difficult to handle.
What if I don’t have self-rising flour?
You can make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare and shape the dough up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
Why are my rolls dense?
Over-kneading the dough or using expired self-rising flour can lead to dense rolls.
Can I use low-fat Greek yogurt?
Yes, low-fat Greek yogurt works well, though full-fat yogurt gives the best flavor and texture.
Do these taste like traditional yeast rolls?
They are softer and slightly denser than yeast rolls, with a mild tang from the yogurt.
Can I add cheese or herbs?
Absolutely. Cheese, garlic, herbs, and seasonings all work wonderfully in this recipe.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The tops should be golden brown and the rolls should feel firm but soft when lightly pressed.
Can I freeze the unbaked dough?
Yes, shape the dough into balls and freeze them on a tray before transferring to a freezer bag.
What should I serve with these dinner rolls?
They pair perfectly with soups, chili, roasted chicken, casseroles, or simply butter and jam.
