Greek Yogurt Dinner Rolls

Greek Yogurt Dinner Rolls Greek Yogurt Dinner Rolls

I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen quite a bit lately, trying to make a loaf of bread with Greek yogurt. A few weeks ago I made a couple of loaves that weren’t bad..but they were a bit crumbly and not quite blog-worthy…so I went back to the drawing board. I decided to switch my focus and try smaller rolls instead of a whole loaf of bread…and it worked out much better!

I took advantage of some free time on Sunday to make a batch of these. Here’s the recipe I used:

Ingredients (16 rolls)

  • 2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 2 – 2.5 c bread flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 Tbsp honey or agave nectar
  • 1 c warm water
  • 1 c 2% plain Greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast and honey/agave and let sit for five minutes.
2. Add the yogurt, olive oil, salt and white whole wheat flour and turn the mixer on (or stir with a spoon).
3. Slowly add in the bread flour until the dough sticks together and gets tacky/starts to pull away from the sides.
4. Knead (or let mixer knead) for 5 minutes.
5. Transfer dough to a clean bowl that has been oiled. Cover and let sit in a warm place for 1 hour.
6. Knead the dough a few times to remove the air, then split into 16 balls.
7. Stretch the corners of the dough down to the bottom to create a smooth top.
8. Place the rolls close together on a baking sheet and let rise for 30 minutes.
9. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

Notes:

  • This dough is a bit sticky. I ended up using about 4 1/4 c flour, plus extra when I split it into rolls and still ended up with some dough stuck to my fingers. That’s fine!
  • I also used a small jelly roll pan to bake mine. When the dough rose again, the rolls expanded and since the pan was smaller, I ended up with square edges. If you’re using a bigger baking sheet, they might not expand to reach the edges. That’s ok. Putting the rolls close together helps them rise while baking!
  • I only made 12 rolls and some of them were much to big, which is why I recommend you make 16!
