I have been making these Easy Yoghurt Bread Rolls for good few years now and they never disappoint. I usually go through phases with these, making them almost every day only to stop for a while. Too much of a good thing I guess. 🙂
The great thing about these rolls is that they are oh so light and delicious. They also keep their freshness for good couple of days. This way you can enjoy them for longer although in our house they are usually gone the day they're baked!
In case you don't eat a lot of bread, they also freeze well. Simply take them out of the freezer couple of hours before you need them and they will thaw nicely in room temperature. If you are in a hurry, simply slice them in half before freezing and pop in your toaster straight from the freezer for delicious and quick brekkie/lunch.
These soft and almost sweet tasting rolls are perfect as part of your weekend breakfast. They go oh so beautifully well with any jam, honey or my orange marmalade but also simply buttered with the side of scrambled eggs and a slice of smoked salmon. You know my choice of Sunday brekkie now. 🙂 Any filling sweet or savoury goes well with these Easy Yoghurt Bread Rolls so don't let your imagination stop there and use whatever you fancy.
You can even use them for burgers. Try them with my vegan Portobello Mushroom Burgers with Caramelised Onions, yum!

📋 Recipe
Easy Yoghurt Bread Rolls
Ingredients
- 500 g bread flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar caster or granulated
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 7 g 1 sachet dried yeast
- 200 g natural yoghurt regular type or Greek
- 120 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 60 g unsalted butter softened
- Additionally you will need 1 egg lightly beaten for brushing your rolls with before baking and seeds of your choice (sesame, pumpkin, poppy etc.).
Instructions
- All ingredients should be at room temperature. Milk should be ever so slightly warmed up in the microwave as that will help to activate the yeast.
- Put all ingredients in the bowl of your food processor. Make sure you put yeast and sugar on a different side of the bowl to salt initially as salt "kills" the yeast.
- Knead using the hook attachment of your food processor or by hand until the dough is springy to the touch and no longer sticky. You shouldn't have to add any more flour but if you do make sure it is very little if you don't want your rolls to come out heavy.
- Place your dough in a bowl, cover with clean tea towel and let it prove (rest) until it doubled in size (approx 1.5hrs)
- Deflate proved dough with a good punch and divide it into 12 roughly equal pieces.
- Shape into rolls and place on prepared baking sheet or two lined with baking paper.
- Cover with clean tea towel again and let the rolls rest to plump up a bit for about 40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Once rolls had their second prove, brush them gently with beaten egg and sprinkle your seeds of choice.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until nice and brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let them cool and enjoy with your choice of filling!

Nikol says
I just found this gem of a recipe and made it last week. It is amazing and the rolls held up soft and pillowy for about 5 days! I have a question though, would this work if instead of shaping rolls, I make it into a loaf in a bread tin? And how long would it bake for?
joskitchenlarder says
Hello Nikol, It's so great to hear you've discovered my yogurt rolls and love them. 😊 I haven't tried making this recipe into a bread loaf but don't see the reason why it wouldn't work. I would bake it similarly to my White Sandwich Bread at 200C for about 35 minutes until golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom. Hope that helps!
Caroline says
Hi! Is it possible to make these without a mixer? Or is the dough too sticky to work by hand? Thank you
joskitchenlarder says
Hi Caroline. It's absolutely fine to mix and knead the dough by hand. It might be a bit sticky to start with but should get nice and elastic as you knead it. You can also always add a bit more flour (not too much mind you) if you need to. Hope you enjoy the rolls. 🙂

Hi Monika
How do I adjust the recipe if I use whole meal bread flour?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Lil
joskitchenlarder says
Hi Lil, It's Jo 😉 You don't need to adjust the recipe in any way. Simply replace plain wholemeal flour with the same amount of wholemeal bread flour. You could use 100% of wholemeal bread flour if you wanted to but bare in mind that your bread won't be as light as when you use half wholemeal and half white. Hope that helps. 🙂
Lil T says
Hi Jo
Thanks for your prompt reply & advice. Will try with half whole meal & half white breadflour. 😊
joskitchenlarder says
No problem at all! Please let me know how you got on. 🙂
Catherine says
I absolutely love this recipe! I’ve made it twice now.
The second time I did it I increased the mix size to make bigger rolls. (We have big burgers at our BBQ). I topped them with a mix of oats, black mustard seeds and sesame seeds. They were such a hit.
We had them the next morning for bacon butties.
This weekend I’m giving it another go... but going to shake them for hot dogs.
Thank you so much!
joskitchenlarder says
Hi Catherine, It's so great to hear such a fantastic feedback and that these rolls are such a hit with you and your family. I think they will make brilliant hot dog buns as well! 🙂
Kat (The Baking Explorer) says
Wow! These rolls are stunning, gorgeously golden and shiny, they are so inviting.
Corina says
These rolls look delicious! I do think nothing beats homemade bread and I also go through phases of making a lot of it and then none at all for months. Thank you so much for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice.
joskitchenlarder says
Thank you lovely lady! It's funny isn't it? That bread baking inactivity and then the spurt of baking the same thing over and over again only to get tired of it again. That's the sign of passionate home baker I say! 🙂
Julie's Family Kitchen says
These rolls look incredible. I would never have thought of adding yogurt. #CookBlogShare 🙂
joskitchenlarder says
Thanks Julie 🙂 It does make all the difference plus I believe it keeps them fresher for longer too! If they last that is 😉
Angela / Only Crumbs Remain says
These look so good Jo - i love the sheen that you've got on them from the beaten egg. I love making home made bread (the smell is amazing isn't it) but I have to admit that i've not made any for a while for one reason & another. But these really are tempting me to get the bread flour and yest out of the cupboard.

I love that you have incorporated yogurt into the dough recipe for your rolls Jo, and they seem to easy to make which I love too. I bet they were so good to eat when served warm!
Thank you for linking up to #Bakeoftheweek x
Kirsty Hijacked By Twins says
Ooooh these rolls look perfect! I adore homemade bread but find I cannot stop eating it which is not great for the diet! I would definitely like a few of these when warm with melting butter on! Thank you for sharing with #CookBlogShare x

Thank you Kirsty ? I know what you mean, freshly baked rolls and butter are hard to resist and these are worth the diet sin if I can say so myself ? x
