Once upon a time, soft pretzels were a special treat that I only enjoyed on rare occasions like at carnivals, movie theatres, and baseball games. Then, the internet introduced me to two-ingredient dough. I have two words for you: Game. Changer.
Two-ingredient dough, made from an ultra simple combination of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, quickly became my new best friend. Together we made pizzas, bagels, garlic knots, English muffins, and now—soft pretzels. These Two-Ingredient Dough Pretzels are everything good pretzels should be. They are crisp and golden on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Perfectly salted and beyond delicious.

No longer do I have to wait until I’m at the movies or the county fair to enjoy my beloved soft pretzel. I can whip up my trusty two-ingredient dough and then bake my very own pretzels in less than 20 minutes. I love them and my kids go absolutely nuts for them.

If you’re looking for a delicious party snack, try pairing your homemade pretzels with honey mustard or marinara sauce for dipping. Every time I’ve made this dish for family or friends, everyone has raved about how amazing and fun they were. This homemade pretzel recipe is quick, easy, and incredibly delicious. Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think!

Key Ingredients

To whip up these delicious salty snacks, you will need the following key ingredients:

  • Self-rising flour: Made with a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, you can either purchase self-rising flour or easily make your own.
  • Greek yogurt: This is what turns our flour to dough and gives our pretzels their nice, fluffy texture.
  • Coarse salt: What pretzel would be complete without coarse salt sprinkled on top? Feel free to add additional seasonings if desired, like garlic or onion powder.
  • Egg wash: Brushing this over the top of the pretzels ensures that they achieve that beautiful golden-brown color that sets them over the top.

What is Two-Ingredient Dough?

Two-ingredient dough is used to make a wide range of baked goods like pizza, bagels, English muffins, cinnamon rolls, and pretzels. The dough is made with a simple combination of Greek yogurt and self-rising flour. Greek yogurt adds just the right amount of moisture, helps to form the flour into dough, and can be swapped out for plain regular yogurt, sour cream, or dairy-free yogurt. The self-rising flour component is made from a combination of all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking powder.
