Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup (200 g) whole-wheat flour, or all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ⅔ cup (200 g) Greek yogurt, minimum 5% fat recommended

Optional Ingredients

  • Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or an air fryer to 280°F (140°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt (if using). Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Add Greek Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir until the dough begins to come together. The dough should be soft but manageable. If it feels sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a spoonful more Greek yogurt and mix again.
  4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface and knead it quickly until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Shape Into Buns: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball shape to form individual buns.
  6. Bake: Place the dough balls onto the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the buns are cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing or serving to ensure optimal texture.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt with at least 5% fat for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of flour or yogurt slightly if your dough texture feels off; humidity and flour type can affect consistency.
  • This bread contains no yeast and does not require rising time, making it a fast bread option.
  • For a crunchier crust, you can bake slightly longer but monitor to prevent burning.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
