This Greek yogurt flour garlic bread was born from a simple craving — not for something fancy, but for the comforting smell of garlic filling my kitchen. I didn’t want to wait hours for dough to rise or knead endlessly. I just wanted something warm, soft, and satisfying… now.
That’s when I remembered my go-to shortcut: Greek yogurt and flour. Together, they create a quick, no-yeast dough that’s perfect for last-minute baking. I folded in roasted garlic, brushed the top with butter and herbs, and popped it in the oven. In under 30 minutes, I had a golden, soft Greek yogurt flour garlic bread that tasted like it came from a bakery — only it came straight from the heart of home.

Rafel’s Tips for the Perfect Greek Yogurt Flour Garlic Bread
Use full-fat Greek yogurt if you can — it gives the dough extra richness and softness that makes each bite feel like a hug. If your dough feels too sticky, don’t worry. A light dusting of flour on your hands or work surface will help you shape it easily without making it tough.
Want an even deeper garlic flavor? Roast your garlic cloves ahead of time — it brings out the kind of sweetness I adore in comforting dishes like my smothered chicken and rice, where slow-cooked ingredients tell a warm, familiar story.
This Greek yogurt flour garlic bread also loves a little personal touch — sprinkle it with flaky sea salt before baking or add a bit of shredded cheese to the top for that warm, melty finish.
And finally, don’t skip the butter brushing. It’s the difference between “pretty good” and “absolutely can’t stop eating it.”

For a light lunch, slice it and top with fresh tomato, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil — like a rustic open-faced sandwich. It even makes a beautiful side for breakfast when paired with eggs, avocado, or a spread of whipped feta.
