Quick Sesame Yogurt Bread Rolls 🍞
Quite a lot of Greek yogurt in the warehouse this week… so we’ve tested out a twist on our classic flatbread!
Why would we use Greek yogurt?
Well, here’s why…
🥣 Nutritional Benefits
Higher protein content:
Greek yogurt is rich in protein, which helps make the bread more filling and supports muscle maintenance.
Added calcium and probiotics:
Depending on the yogurt used, it can add calcium (for bone health) and beneficial bacteria that support gut health.
Lower fat (if using reduced-fat yogurt):
Compared to butter or oil-enriched breads, yogurt-based doughs can be lighter and lower in fat.
Less sugar and fewer additives:
Simple yogurt breads often skip the added sugars or preservatives found in store-bought rolls.
🧁 Texture and Baking Benefits
Moist and tender crumb
Slight tang for flavor balance
Natural leavening help
⚡ Practical Perks
Quick and yeast-free: no proving time required
Great way to use up surplus!
Ingredients
200g self-raising flour
200g Greek yogurt
1 tsp sugar
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 egg (for brushing)
Handful of black sesame seeds
Method
Preheat oven to 170°C (fan).
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and pepper.
Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a soft dough forms.
Divide into small dough balls and place on a lined baking tray.
Brush each roll with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with black sesame seeds.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Serve warm — perfect with soups, dips, or as a snack on their own!
We enjoyed them with some spiced parsnip soup - swipe to see ☺️
