Two-Ingredient Breadsticks with two simple ingredients you probably already have in the kitchen! The versatile two-ingredient dough makes great pizza crust and is perfect for flatbreads, pretzel bites, calzones, and bagels. Weight watchers friendly with 2 smart points per serving!
A few days ago, I shared with you an amazing dulce de leche ice cream made with just two ingredients. Rich, silky and with intense caramel flavor, it’s one of my favorite summer treats and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Today, however, is all about two-ingredient breadsticks.
Alright, I admit. Technically, these breadsticks have six ingredients. I am standing by my two-ingredient claim, though, because, really, the cheese, butter, garlic powder, and herbs are just optional add-ons to kick the flavor up a notch. The actual breadsticks, which are delicious as is, need only two ingredients to make. Just self-rising flour and Greek yogurt and you’re in for a delicious baked treat!
If self-rising flour isn’t something you always keep in the pantry, just follow the super easy steps on how to make it at home.
How to Make Self-Rising Flour:
- In a bowl, measure 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Whisk together until combined.
- Use in recipe as directed or store in an airtight container.
I won’t go into a lot of detail on what chemical wizardry makes these two things work together like a charm into soft and chewy breadsticks because, umm, I don’t know.
From the little I understand, the lactic acid in the yogurt reacts with the leavening properties of self-rising flour to help the dough rise nice and proud in the oven. It’s just a bunch of science stuff that means one thing: this is the easiest and simplest bread dough you can make!
Why You’ll Love This Two-Ingredient Dough:
- TWO ingredients!
- No rising needed! It’s ready to bake once the ingredients are stirred together and formed into shape.
- Very versatile! Check out my suggested list below on the scrumptious goodies you can do with it.
- Weight Watchers’ friendly! Less than 2 smart points per serving for plain breadsticks.
- Absolutely delicious! Soft and fluffy on the inside and and slightly chewy on the outside!
Other than delicious breadsticks, this two-ingredient bread dough also makes a wonderful pizza crust for all your favorite toppings. Pepperoni? Ham and Pineapple? Bell peppers, mushrooms and red onions? Load it up!
Pizzas and breadsticks are perfect when you have snack cravings and need a quick fix. With only two ingredients and simple steps, the fun doesn’t need to stop there!

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
- 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour and yogurt. Stir together until well combined.
- Transfer dough onto a flat surface. Using remaining 1/4 cup flour, knead dough until smooth and no longer sticky.
- Divide dough into 8 portions. Roll each dough portion between the palm of your hands until it forms a thin log. Alternatively, roll dough into a rectangular shape and cut into 8 thin logs.
- Arrange each log in a single layer on a lightly greased baking pan.
- In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the butter, garlic powder and herbs. Brush dough liberally with butter mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake in a 425 F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from heat and immediately brush with the remaining butter. Serve with marinara sauce.

Just a heads up, I plugged just the yogurt and flour into the weight watchers recipe generator and it is 3 POINTS not 2 for a breadstick. I didn’t try this recipe, but gave a low rating because of how misleading your description is at the top of the recipe. 3 points is for a plain stick, without adding butter or cheddar cheese, which wasn’t mentioned.
Lalaine says
If you read the whole post, you would have seen this “Weight Watchers’ friendly! Less than 2 smart points per serving for plain breadsticks.”
Cherry says
I’m curious… Why are there six ingredients in a recipe that is called Two Ingredient Breadsticks?
Lalaine says
Hello, Cherry,
As I explained on the post, the other 4 ingredients are optional to add flavor. All you need to make the breadsticks are self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. 🙂
Mary says
Does it matter if you use low fat or regular Greek yogurt?
Lalaine says
I’ve never tried personally tried them but I think they’ll work.
Amy T says
Can you taste the yogurt? I strongly dislike yogurt especially even the smell of Greek yogurt but the low points and the fact I love bread has me considering these.
Lalaine says
No, there is no yogurt aftertaste. At least, that I can tell.
Shari says
What’s the weight watcher freestyle points for these
Lalaine says
Hello Shari,
I am sorry but I am not familiar with the weight watchers program so I won’t know how many points for these breadsticks. 🙁
Ginny says
The entire ball of dough is 12 points, so if you make 6 breadsticks or bagels, then they are 2 pints each. If you decide you want them bigger and only make 4 then they would be 3 points each. That’s for a PLAIN breadstick, without the butter or cheese.
Lalaine says
Thank you!
