Looking for Weight Watchers Recipes? Today I am sharing how to make these quick 2 Ingredient Dough Pretzels using two ingredient dough. So grab a cold beverage and sit right back and enjoy a guilt free warm pretzel. These pretzels are only 3 points!
I love to get a soft pretzel when I go to a sporting event. They are warm and salty and often sprinkled liberally with salt. Well, being on the Weight Watchers program doesn't mean I have to give up snacks like soft pretzels.

2 Ingredient Dough Pretzels - Weight Watchers
The secret to these self rising flour pretzels is fat free Greek yogurt. Fat free Greek yogurt is 0 points on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan and is one of the main ingredients in these pretzels. The crazy thing is that you cannot taste the yogurt at all in these pretzels. My favorite yogurt to use is Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt.
This greek yogurt pretzels recipe uses self rising flour which you can buy pre-made or make yourself. I share an easy self rising flour recipe here. This allows you to make these pretzels with no yeast and not having to wait for the dough to rise.
To make 2 homemade pretzels, combine ½ cup of self rising flour and ½ cup of Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt in a bowl until a dough starts to form. If you just want to make 4 pretzels, just double the ingredients.
Knead the dough on a floured surface and divide into two equal parts. You will want to make sure that the two pieces of dough are of equal weight. This scale really comes in handy.
Roll each piece of dough into a 12-14 inch rope.
Form into a pretzel shape.
Beat an egg and brush it over the pretzels and sprinkle on coarse sea salt.
Bake and enjoy! I love these nonfat Greek yogurt pretzels while they are still somewhat warm with some spicy brown mustard. My kids like them as is - lightly warm and salted. If you are looking for a more traditional pretzel recipe which will be way higher in points check out this Soft Pretzels Recipe.
Each soft pretzel is 3 Weight Watchers points on the Freestyle plan.

I think it means that the normal thing is at 350 for 22 minutes; if you can't wait that long, then crank it up to 550 for 2 minutes.
Tammy Warren
I don't think so, I made them last night for the superbowl. At 22 minutes they were very sticky still
Kirk Johnson
Thanks. Baking now and wondering for the temperature change do you remove from oven and wait until 550 after 22 minutes? Or crank it up at about 18 minutes and keep all in oven?
Susan
I have what might be a dumb question. Do you take the pretzels out of the oven at 22 min, get the oven up to 550 degrees, then put the pretzels back in? It doesn't make sense to leave them in the oven while it gets hotter but I wanted to make sure.
Jessica McKnight
I kind of had the same question, but I imagine cranking it up to broil for 2 additional minutes would acheive the desired effect??
Vicky
It does for me, but I do have to set a timer because if I forget them at that temp, they get ruined.
Jamie
Anyone ever figure this out, because I came to the comments for the same question?
Concerned
Tough to say, 2 ingredients and 2 (on)gredients. Not sure if any of this recipe can be trusted. My advice would be to preheat your second oven to 550 degrees and remove these from the first oven at the temperature of 350 degrees at the 22 minute mark and then transfer them to the 550 degree oven.

I’ve made these in my air fryer 350 degrees 23 minutes and they are just like a regular bagel a little toasty on the outside and real soft on the inside. I think if they were placed in 550 degrees you would really need to watch them so that the outside don’t dry out too much?
