How to Make 3-Ingredient Yogurt Buns

PIN IT

Step 1: Prep

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a bowl, combine self-rising flour and dairy-free yogurt. Add olive oil and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

If needed, add 1–2 tablespoons flour, but don’t overdo it — soft dough equals soft buns.

Step 3: Shape

Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Gently roll into balls and place on the baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden on top.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.

What to Serve with Yogurt Buns

• Dairy-free butter or jam
• Soup, stew, or chili
• Sandwich fillings
• Hummus or olive oil for dipping

They’re especially good warm with a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Use unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
• Don’t overmix — gentle hands win here
• If dough is sticky, lightly flour your hands
• For browner tops, brush with olive oil before baking

Storage Instructions

• Room Temperature: 1 day, covered
• Refrigerator: Up to 4 days
• Freezer: Up to 2 months
• Reheat: Oven at 300°F or microwave 10 seconds
