There’s nothing this dough can’t do. Seriously.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock in the Instagram world, the 2 ingredient dough has finally came back into light after a few years. I have a very old blog post about it but it never took off like I had hoped, but ever since Weight Watchers launched their new FreeStyle Program, people caught on quick and I’m so glad! So what changed?
0% greek yogurt is now 0 smart points! *happy dance*
Everyone has been making it for pizza, calzones, cinnamon rolls, burger buns, pretzels, bagels, EVERYTHING. There’s pretty much nothing this dough can’t do.
When I had tikka masala on the menu this week, I dug through my freezer for my trusty Trader Joe’s Naan. Unfortunately, it was freezer burnt and not the least bit appetizing. I tossed it in the trash and pondered going out for more. It didn’t take long for me to say, “Ummm. Nope. Staying in.” I headed to the pantry, got the self rising flour, greek yogurt and a few basic staples and *BAM!*, 2 ingredient naan bread was born.
It’s almost like this dough was made to be naan because of the chewy texture and tangy flavor from the yogurt. It’s fantastic and only 3sp a piece (compared to 6sp of the ones now buried in my trash can.)
Dinner is going to be soooo good!

I’ve been seeing this everywhere! Very eager & excited to try it but what’s the texture like? does it taste like real bread/dough?

It takes on flavor very well! I’d definitely recommend diving it a shot. Using it a sandwich bread, probably wouldn’t be like real bread; using it for pizza crust, bagels, naan, etc is!

I, too, decided to make naan with the two ingredient dough because I was making tiki Masala. I added a little garlic to the dough because that’s just the way I roll… it was delicious…

It’s the perfect dough for it! I’ll be adding minced garlic next time for sure 🙂

Do you need to oil the fry pan? Thank you

Nope! Should be fine in any non stick skillet but a spritz of olive or coconut oil spray would be ok too 🙂
