Bread in a Jar – No Yeast, No Sugar, No White Flour

Bread in a Jar – No Yeast, No Sugar, No White Flour

Why Make Bread in a Jar?

Bread in a jar is an excellent solution for those seeking a quick, easy, and healthy bread option. This recipe is especially suitable for people who avoid white flour, yeast, and sugar. It’s convenient, as it requires minimal ingredients and cooks in just a minute, making it perfect for busy mornings or a quick snack.

Health Benefits

This bread is not only delicious but also nutritious. The combination of eggs, flax seeds, and psyllium provides protein, fiber, and essential omega-3 fatty acids. The absence of white flour makes it suitable for low-carb or gluten-free diets when using almond flour as a substitute. Additionally, the lack of yeast and sugar keeps it light and digestive-friendly.

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 2 tablespoons flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for moisture)
  • Optional add-ins: Chia seeds, sunflower seeds, or your favorite herbs

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Jar: Lightly grease a microwave-safe jar or mug with a little olive oil. This prevents sticking and makes it easy to remove the bread after cooking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. This helps create a fluffy texture in the final bread.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flax seeds, psyllium husk, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir well to combine, ensuring no lumps remain. The psyllium husk will start to thicken the batter as it absorbs the liquid.
  4. Enhance with Add-Ins: Fold in any additional ingredients like chia seeds or herbs for extra flavor and texture. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer to Jar: Pour the batter into the prepared jar, filling it halfway. This allows space for the bread to rise during microwaving.
  6. Microwave: Place the jar in the microwave and cook on high for about 1 to 1.5 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. If necessary, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  7. Cooling and Serving: Let the bread cool slightly before removing it from the jar. Run a knife around the edges if needed. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions

  • Spread with butter, cream cheese, or avocado for a tasty breakfast.
  • Use as a sandwich base with your favorite fillings.
  • Serve alongside soups or salads as a hearty side.

Storage Tips

Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze slices wrapped individually.

Customization Ideas

  • Use dairy-free milk (like almond or soy) for a lactose-free version.
  • Add shredded cheese, chopped olives, or dried herbs for a savory twist.
  • Sweeten slightly with a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you’re not strictly avoiding sugars.

This quick, no-yeast bread recipe is perfect for those who want a wholesome and filling option without the hassle of traditional baking. Enjoy your homemade bread in just a minute!
