- As with the other “2-ingredient bread” dough WW-style recipes, there are so few ingredients this recipe that substitutions can make a big difference (and often not for the better). But here’s what I know (or am willing to guess):

- Tips for working with this “2-ingredient” dough
- This dough is quite easy to work with, and happily quite difficult to ruin. Even when you’re working with conventional gluten-containing flour to make a similar recipe to this, you’ll see on other blogs that the raw dough isn’t smooth.
- You really don’t need a lot of additional flour to shape these rolls, though. If you do add way too much flour during shaping, you will end up with tough bread. That’s always the case when working with bread dough.

- As you might have guessed, the garlic butter you see me brushing on top isn’t really Weight Watchers-friendly. But only 2 melted tablespoons are plenty to cover all 8 breadsticks.
- Add some garlic salt and you’ll swear you were eating my yeasted Olive Garden-style gluten free soft breadsticks. Those are the stuff that dreams are made of! ?

- Ingredients and substitutions
- Dairy-free: I haven’t tried this recipe with nondairy plain yogurt, such as So Delicious brand, but I have tried the other 2-ingredient WW-style bread recipes on the blog with it and was successful.
- Take a look at the ingredients and substitutions section of my recipe for Weight Watchers Gluten Free bagel recipe for all the information I have about making these sort of recipes with nondairy (non-Greek-style) plain yogurt.
- The butter in this recipe is truly optional and can either be replaced with Earth Balance buttery sticks (melted) or just omitted entirely.
- WW Points: Each of these rolls has a bit over 3 SmartPoints each, as I calculated it using Better Batter gluten free flour ingredients—if you omit the melted butter (sorry! WW hates fat). That’s about 1 point more than the bagels.
- If you’re just sort of eating WW-style, or you just love the idea of a yeast-free gluten free breadstick, add the butter. It makes everything better.
- Sugar: I like to add a tiny bit of granulated sugar to this recipe. It does not make the breadsticks taste sweet. It just cuts the tang of the yogurt taste a bit and balances everything. It is truly optional.
