Does anybody here use a Cuisinart (food processor of some kind) to make their 2-ingredient dough? If so, would you please post the recipe you use and directions here. I tried making an "Easy Garlic Knots" recipe that I'd found which uses what seemed to be a variation on the 2ID and pretty much consider it to have been an epic failure. The directions indicate a prep time of 10 min, a cooking time of 14 min, and 2 additional min (assumably for brushing the baked knots with melted LOL light butter w/canola). However, the dough was untenably wet. I think I washed almost as much down the sink from my hands as I had in the bowl. Not really, but it seemed that way. I saw someone make it in a mixer or food processor (can't remember which, but I don't have a mixer, so whatever I'd do would need to work in a food processor). That was an even bigger epic fail than trying to knead it on the mat. Ugh. Something that was supposed to take less than 30 min from start to finish probably ate up close to 2 hours of my time from getting the ingredients on the counter to prepare the dough to putting them on plates for dinner (which obviously ran very late last night). They were compact and seemed doughy even after baking, and while the stated time was 14 min, at the 13 min mark I could see that they weren't close to done so added 5, making it 18 min, then added 5 again when it went off that time as they still weren't browned. This is my second attempt at doing something with this type of dough. I'm generally very successful when following directions, but something is off somewhere. I'd love to have a food processor recipe and instructions for a dough you find to be reliably successful.

Best answer
I use 3/4 cup yogurt to 1 cup of flour so the dough isn't as sticky.

@unscrupulous82 I've done garlic knots before using it

@unscrupulous82 this is what I use but just cut the yogurt to 3/4 of a cup. I use the skinnytaste recipe for the 2 ingredient dough also because it uses regular flour instead of self-rising flour.

I can't do milk(milk allergy), I tried the dough with applesauce, but wasn't sold. I looked up various recipes of regular pizza dough, and similar things, and found that just flour & water work for me. It works well for pizza, and meat pockets, and even around a hotdog. I like to use egg roll wrappers(2pts ea, blue), and have found you can stuff alot of things in an eggroll that gives you a nice alternative. I have found L'oven bagel thins at 3pts each, and found they cure my need for a bagel, or L'oven whole wheat pita minis, for 3 points for 5 mini pitas.
