2 Ingredient Dough Scrolls (Sweet OR Savoury!)
Soft, fluffy, and ridiculously easy…these 2 ingredient dough scrolls are made from just two ingredients – self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt! No yeast, no waiting around, just mix, roll, fill, and bake. Perfect for lunchboxes, and snacks. And the best part? You can go sweet or savoury, so everyone gets exactly what they love.
You’ll save a bundle, and they’re so quick and super easy to make. The dough is really forgiving, so even beginners can get perfect scrolls every time.
Ingredients
The only 2 ingredients you will need for the dough!
Self-Raising Flour: Gives the dough structure and light, fluffy texture without yeast.
Greek Yoghurt: Adds moisture, and tenderness.
Optional Fillings (Savoury): Cheese, ham, herbs (keep fillings minimal to avoid soggy scrolls).
Optional Fillings (Sweet): Cinnamon sugar, chocolate, jam (spread thin for even baking).
For these 2-ingredient scrolls, the type of yoghurt you use makes a difference. Thick Greek yoghurt works best because it gives a soft, tender dough that’s easy to roll. Natural or plain yoghurt can also work, but you might need to sprinkle in a little extra flour if it’s runnier. Low-fat yoghurt produces a slightly lighter dough, while flavoured yoghurts can add a hint of sweetness or tang.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough Scrolls
Mix the Dough
Combine your self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt in a bowl. If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer or food processor instead of your hands to bring it together until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. You can knead in the bowl or on a slightly floured work surface. Don’t worry if it’s a little wet, this dough is very forgiving. If it’s too sticky to handle, sprinkle in a little extra flour, if it’s too dry, add a splash of yoghurt. No need to start over, it’s easily fixable!
Roll the 2 Ingredient Dough Out
Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 35cm x 25cm to make 12-14 medium Scrolls. The dough should be about 1 cm thick. Rolling it evenly will ensure your scrolls bake uniformly.
Add Fillings
Spread your chosen filling evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges:
- Savoury examples: cheese, cooked bacon, ham, herbs, or pesto
- Sweet examples: cinnamon sugar, chocolate chips, jam, or fruit puree
See more filling ideas below!
But be careful not to overload with wet fillings, as this can make scrolls soggy.
Roll & Slice
Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice into even scrolls, 8–14 depending on your preferred size.
Bake
Place the scrolls on a lined baking tray:
- Just touching: For soft, pull-apart sides
- Far apart (2–3 cm / 1 in): For crisp edges all around may need 1–2 extra minutes baking
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C fan (200 °C conventional) for 20 minutes, until golden brown on top. Rotate the tray halfway if your oven has hot spots.
Cool & Serve
Allow scrolls to cool for 5 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for 2–3 days. You can also freeze unbaked scrolls for up to a month just bake straight from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to baking time.

2 Ingredient Dough Scrolls (Sweet or Savoury!)
Ingredients
- 3 cups self-raising flour (375g)
- 1 ½ cups thick plain yoghurt (like greek or greek style) (375g)
Instructions
Make the dough
- In a large bowl, mix flour and yoghurt until it clumps together.
- Either in the bowl or on a lightly floured bench knead for 1–2 minutes until it forms a nice soft ball (don’t overwork it).
- If it’s sticky, dust with more flour, if too dry, add a tablespoon of yoghurt.
Roll it Out
- Roll into a rectangle about 35cm x 25cm (roughly 8mm thick). Try to keep edges as neat as possible so your scrolls roll evenly.
Fill & Roll
- Spread with the toppings of your choice and roll up tightly from the long edge into a log.
- Slice into 12-14 medium rounds with a sharp knife.
Bake
- Arrange the scrolls on a lined baking tray cut side up so you can see the spiral and just touching not squished together.
- Bake at 200°C (fan 180°C) for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Best eaten warm. If storing, cool them ompletely and keep in an airtight container. Reheat in microwave for 20 seconds, or use the oven/airfryer.
Notes
- Your dough will be soft and slightly sticky, this is normal.
- If it feels too wet to handle, sprinkle in 1–2 tablespoons of extra self-raising flour until it’s manageable and if too dry 1-2 tablespoons of yoghurt.
- Just touching: So the edges lightly touch. This gives soft sides that rise together, creating a fluffy, pull-apart texture.
- Far apart: Leave about 2–3 cm between each scroll. This allows each one to bake evenly with golden, crisp edges all around.
