Greek Yogurt Dough Slider Buns – A Healthier Take on a Comfort Food Favorite

By Ali Propeck

If you’ve encountered the wildly popular Greek yogurt dough trend, especially the bagels, you know the secret! I was immediately impressed when I first made them; they rose beautifully and achieved the satisfying texture of a traditional bagel. The best part? Using Greek yogurt naturally boosts the protein content and cuts the calories in a beloved comfort food. This discovery sparked an obsession! I began adapting the simple base dough recipe to create healthier versions of many of my favorite foods. Today, I’m excited to share my adaptation for Slider Buns. These lighter rolls are perfect for your favorite sammies (they pair wonderfully with my Dilly Chicken Salad recipe!), sliders, or as a hearty accompaniment to soup. This recipe is also easily scalable to meet your needs.
