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.
FAQs For Two Ingredient Dough Pretzels
Plain, non-fat Greek yogurt works best here. It gives the dough the right texture and keeps the pretzels light without needing extra ingredients.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them or pop them in the freezer.

Evelyn Jepson says
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 says
I don't think so, I made them last night for the superbowl. At 22 minutes they were very sticky still
Kirk Johnson says
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 says
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 says
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 says
It does for me, but I do have to set a timer because if I forget them at that temp, they get ruined.
Jamie says
Anyone ever figure this out, because I came to the comments for the same question?
Concerned says
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.
Gina says
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?
