Why These No-Yeast Cheese Buns Are So Easy

This recipe uses yogurt and baking powder instead of yeast, which means no rising time and no kneading. The vinegar activates the baking powder, creating fluffy, soft buns with minimal effort.

Perfect for Snacks, Breakfast, and Lunchboxes

Greek tyropitakia are a classic savory pastry, and this simplified version keeps all the flavor with fewer steps. These buns are great for:

• Breakfast with coffee
• School or work lunchboxes
• Party appetizers
• Quick snacks on the go

Storage and Freezing Tips

These cheese buns store well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and freeze beautifully. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore their soft texture and crispy exterior.
