A 2-Ingredient Crescent Roll recipe is a quick and clever way to make soft, flaky rolls with minimal effort—perfect for last-minute baking or a simple bread side. While they won’t have the exact texture of traditional crescent dough, they come surprisingly close and are super customizable!
🥐✨ 2-Ingredient Crescent Rolls
📋 Base Ingredients:
-
1 cup self-rising flour
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2% for best texture)
No self-rising flour? Mix 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Make the dough:
In a bowl, mix the flour and yogurt until a dough forms. Knead briefly (2–3 minutes) until smooth. If sticky, add a bit more flour. -
Roll and shape:
-
On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rough circle, about ¼-inch thick.
-
Cut into 6–8 wedges (like pizza slices).
-
Roll each wedge from the wide end to the tip to form a crescent shape.
-
-
Bake:
Place rolls on the baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter or egg wash (optional for golden finish).
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
📝 Optional Add-Ins:
-
Sprinkle dough with cinnamon sugar before rolling for sweet rolls
-
Add a slice of ham and cheese before rolling for savory bites
-
Drizzle with honey or icing after baking for dessert-style rolls
