How to Make 3-Ingredient Yogurt Buns
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
