How to Make Two Ingredient Dough Crackers
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. This step ensures your crackers will bake evenly and reach that perfect golden crispiness.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine self-rising flour, dried rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and coarse ground black pepper. Make sure they are well-blended for consistent flavor.
-
Add yogurt: Gradually stir in the Greek yogurt until fully combined. The mixture should be a cohesive dough, slightly sticky but manageable.
-
Knead dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead it a few times, then form it into a ball. Cut into quarters and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
-
Roll out: Take one piece of dough and roll it out as thin as possible on a floured mat. Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet to prepare for baking.
-
Dock the dough: Prick the surface of the rolled dough with a fork and cut it into squares or rectangles. This helps the crackers bake evenly and prevents puffing.
-
Bake: Lightly spray with cooking spray, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, removing any browned crackers to ensure all are uniformly crispy, baking for an additional 3-6 minutes if needed.
-
Cool and store: Once baked, let the crackers cool slightly on the baking sheet before breaking them apart. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
Optional: Try adding a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top before baking for an extra savory touch!

How to Store and Freeze Two Ingredient Dough Crackers
- Room Temperature: Store your crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days. This keeps them crisp and ready for snacking!
- Freezer: To extend freshness, seal the cooled crackers tightly in foil or a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw completely before enjoying.
- Reheating: For a quick refresh, pop the crackers in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, bringing back their delightful crunch!
- Avoid Moisture: To maintain crispness, ensure the container is completely dry before storing. Moisture can lead to soggy crackers, diminishing their enjoyable texture.
Make Ahead Options
These Two Ingredient Dough Crackers are perfect for meal prep, making busy weeknights a breeze! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Simply follow the mixing and kneading steps (excluding rolling out and baking). When you’re ready to enjoy them, roll out the dough and bake as directed. To maintain the best quality, keep the dough wrapped tightly to prevent drying out. Should you want to make a larger batch, these crackers can also be stored once baked in an airtight container for up to 7 days, ensuring you always have a tasty, quick snack ready whenever cravings strike!

Two Ingredient Dough Crackers Recipe FAQs
How do I choose the right self-rising flour for my crackers?
Absolutely! When selecting self-rising flour, look for a brand that uses high-quality ingredients without added preservatives. It should have a light texture without lumps, and if you can find it with a specific combination of soft wheat, even better for lighter crackers. If you can’t find self-rising flour, you can easily make your own: mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
How can I store my Two Ingredient Dough Crackers?
Very good question! Store your crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for about 5-7 days. This helps maintain their delightful crunch. If you notice them getting a bit stale, you can re-crisp them by placing them back in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes.
Can I freeze the Two Ingredient Dough Crackers?
Absolutely! To freeze, allow the baked crackers to cool completely. Then, wrap them tightly in foil or place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to 2 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy them, just let them thaw at room temperature, or warm them in the oven to regain that crispy texture!
What should I do if my dough is too sticky or dry?
Good catch! If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour while kneading until it reaches a workable consistency. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water or more yogurt and knead it back together. Remember, the dough should be manageable—not too sticky, but also not crumbly. A bit of practice makes perfect!
Are there any dietary considerations for pets or allergies to keep in mind?
Yes, definitely! These Two Ingredient Dough Crackers are best suited as a snack for humans, as they contain yogurt and flour. If your pet is curious, it may be best to keep these away as not all yogurts are pet-friendly, and the seasonings (like garlic and onion powder) can be harmful to dogs and cats. Always check ingredients to ensure they align with dietary restrictions.
