Notes
If the dough seems too sticky after you have turned it out on the work surface or chopping board, you can add some more flour as you knead it. The type of greek yogurt you use will affect this. Traditional greek yogurt tends to be thicker than say supermarket own brand greek yogurt. So don't worry if your dough seems too sticky, just add extra flour.
Leftovers will keep in the fridge for 2 days and can be reheated in the microwave.
These bread rolls can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature in a couple of hours and eat them cold or reheated as above.
