Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution
Greek yogurt can be substituted with plain coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option. This alternative maintains the tangy flavor and moisture content while accommodating vegan diets. Use a 1:1 ratio, but strain the coconut yogurt if it’s too thin. Self-raising flour can be replaced with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour. This substitution creates a similar rise without gluten. For those avoiding eggs, the optional beaten egg can be replaced with 3 tablespoons of aquafaba (chickpea liquid) or 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce. These alternatives help bind the ingredients and provide moisture, though the texture may be slightly different. Adjust liquid content as needed to achieve the right dough consistency.

Ingredients
- 1 cup thick plain greek yogurt
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1 beaten egg (optional)
- Sesame seeds or preferred toppings (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet and Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Lightly oil or coat the lined baking sheet with cooking spray to ensure the rolls won’t stick while baking.
Step 2: Form the Dough
Check if there is any liquid on top of your Greek yogurt; if so, drain it off before measuring.
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of plain, thick Greek yogurt with 1 cup of self-rising flour.
Mix until all the flour is incorporated and a dough forms.
The dough should be cohesive and slightly sticky.
Step 3: Knead and Shape the Dough
Lightly flour a cutting board and knead the dough on it for about 30 seconds.
Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces.
If the dough is sticky, lightly dust your hands with flour, but try to use as little as possible to keep the rolls tender.
Roll each piece of dough into a ball.
Step 4: Rest and Pre-Bake Preparation
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for rising.
Let the rolls rest for about 15 minutes.
During this time, they will slightly rise and relax.
For an optional step, brush the tops of the rolls with a beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds or other desired toppings over the rolls if you like.
Step 5: Bake the Rolls
Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Be sure to rotate the sheet pan halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
The rolls should become lightly browned on the top by the end of the baking period.
Step 6: Final Baking Touch
Once the rolls appear lightly browned after 25-30 minutes, you may increase the oven temperature slightly if you prefer a darker crust.
Monitor the rolls closely to avoid burning.
Once done to your liking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
