I bought a bread maker so I could make my own bread;  two-ingredient bread specifically.
(Yogurt & self rising flour)

I've tried regular yogurt and greek yogurt, but both breads are very chewy like dumplings.
What am I doing wrong?
AND ... what bread setting should I use?
The bread maker I bought does not have a setting for 2-ingredient bread.

Two ingredient bread made with yoghurt and flour does not have to rise or be kneeded.

You just mix ingredients, pour into a pan and bake.

A bread machine is not necessary and because it kneeds the dough and has rising times, it won't make good bread.

Does your recipe say you can make this bread in a machine?

@RinaRina.  I'm not a master bread maker,j but my guess is a bread maker overworks that type of bread, making it tough.  It probably needs minimal handling.

No.  I  saw the recipe on You-tube.  Then decided to get the breadmaker.  I figured I wouldn't have to do anything.  Just dump in the two ingredients and the breadmaker would do it's magic.
I really don't like "fussing" over food prep.  The less work I have to do, the better.

Ohhhh!  That's interesting. I've always used "knead" for 15 minutes, then "bake" for 40 minutes.
Maybe I should leave out the "knead" step.
THANKS for the tip.

I've made that 2 ingredient bread w/beer and self rising flour. It's really good.

But,why would you need a bread maker for only 2 ingredients and no rise time?

Exactly.  The beauty of a two ingredient recipe like this is that it's quick and easy as it is.  Trying to involve a bread machine in the process just complicates things. 

@RinaRinaif you truely don't like fussing over food prep, just make this bread the way it was intended.

I was afraid someone might ask me that question ... ROFLMAO.
I don't have an oven.  No stove.  Haven't had one for years.

Well, I think I just discovered my mistake ... GREEK yogurt.
I'm now reading a recipe as follows:
"

Ingredients You Need

• Self-rising flour (find it in the baking aisle by the other types of flour or make your own as discussed above)
• Whole milk
  
  Greek yogurt is too heavy.  That's why the bread came out so ... "chewy".
