Introduction: This bread in a jar is a true lifesaver for anyone avoiding white flour and yeast while still craving fresh, warm bread. Ready in about a minute, mixed in one jar, and beginner-friendly, it’s the kind of recipe that makes you feel proud from the very first try. Simple, nourishing, and surprisingly satisfying, this little jar of bread proves that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated.
Ingredients: 3 large eggs, 1 cup (240 ml) milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, or any plant milk), 2 tablespoons flax seeds, 2 tablespoons psyllium husk, 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional for extra fluffiness), a pinch of salt.
Instructions: Crack the eggs directly into a heat-safe jar or mug, add the milk, flax seeds, psyllium husk, baking powder if using, and salt, then mix very well with a fork or small whisk until fully combined and slightly thickened, microwave on high for about 60–90 seconds until the bread rises and sets, let it rest for 30 seconds, then carefully remove and enjoy.
Methods: This recipe uses a quick-set method where psyllium husk and flax seeds absorb liquid and create structure instead of flour, while eggs provide protein and stability, and gentle microwave heat cooks the bread evenly from the inside out.
History: Flourless and grain-free quick breads became popular with low-carb, gluten-free, and wellness cooking movements, especially as people searched for faster alternatives to traditional yeast breads, and the “mug” or “jar” method evolved as a modern solution for busy lifestyles.
Benefits: This bread is naturally free from white flour, added sugar, and yeast, high in fiber from psyllium and flax, rich in protein from eggs, gentle on digestion, quick to prepare, and perfect for beginners who want guaranteed results without kneading or waiting.
Formation: Psyllium husk forms a gel when mixed with liquid, mimicking the structure of gluten, while flax seeds add body and mild nuttiness, eggs bind everything together, and optional baking powder introduces lightness, resulting in a soft yet sturdy bread texture.
Conclusion: Bread in a jar is proof that healthy choices can still feel comforting and indulgent, giving you warm, homemade bread in minutes with minimal effort and maximum satisfaction.
