Two Ingredient Dough Breadsticks

Two Ingredient Dough Breadsticks are the perfect side dish! They’re EASY to make with no yeast and no waiting for dough to rise.

Whether you are looking for an easy bread to serve with dinner, these two ingredient dough breadsticks are the perfect thing to make! They are super easy to make, and no one will know that the dough includes Greek yogurt.

My family likes to eat them with soup, spaghetti, and pizza or as an after-school snack. One of my readers likes to split the breadsticks and use them as hot dog buns!

But before we get started on the recipe, I want to clarify (since someone always gets mad about this) that the DOUGH for the breadsticks is made with only two ingredients. I like to increase the flavor of the breadsticks by brushing them with garlic butter. That increases the total number of ingredients, for making the breadsticks EXACTLY like I did, to four.

How To Make

Step One: Two Ingredients

The dough for these breadsticks couldn’t be easier to make! All you need to do is mix up the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt.

Don’t worry if you don’t have self-rising flour; you can easily make it yourself. For one cup of self-rising flour, whisk together one cup of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Step Two: Mixing

I like making my dough in my stand mixer and dough hook attachment because it does most of the kneading for me. You can also use a hand mixer, or if you want to get a little workout while baking, mix and knead the dough by hand.

Step Three: Knead

Once the dough is ready, dump it out of the bowl and onto a floured surface. Knead it a couple of times and form a loaf shape.

I like to use a silicone mat for this step, but a floured cutting board or countertop works, too.

Step Four: Slice

Next, cut the dough into as many pieces as you want breadsticks. I wanted to make thicker, rounder breadsticks, so I cut them into six segments.

Step Five: Roll

Once the dough has been divided, use both hands to roll the breadsticks out to the length and thickness you desire.

Step Six: Bake

Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, or spray your baking sheet with cooking spray.

These breadsticks took about 13 minutes in my oven. The baking time may vary depending on the number and thickness of your breadsticks.

Step Seven: Garlic Butter

We love to brush the baked breadsticks with garlic butter. My kids also love adding grated Parmesan on top.
