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

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

⏱️ Ready in: 1 minute (microwave) or 15 minutes (oven)

🍞 Servings: 2–3 slices

👩‍🍳 Difficulty: Super easy

🧾 Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk — dairy or plant-based (almond, oat, soy, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons flax seeds (whole or ground)
• 2 tablespoons psyllium husk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, makes it fluffier)
• A pinch of salt

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mix ingredients
   In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until smooth.
   Add flax seeds, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until slightly thick.
2. Let it rest
   Allow the mixture to sit for 2–3 minutes — it will thicken as psyllium absorbs liquid.
3. Pour into a jar or ramekin
   Lightly grease a heat-safe glass jar or bowl. Pour the mixture inside, leaving space for it to rise.
4. Cook
   • Microwave: Cook on high for 1–1.5 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
   • Oven: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, until golden and set.
5. Cool and slice
   Let it cool slightly before slicing. Perfect for sandwiches or toast!

💡 Notes & Tips

• Texture: The psyllium and flax make it moist, chewy, and slightly nutty.
• Flavor upgrades: Add herbs (oregano, rosemary), seeds, or grated cheese for variety.
• Vegan version: Use 3 tbsp aquafaba or a flax “egg” (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg).
• Storage: Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for later use.
