Introduction
This Bread in a Jar is a wholesome, quick solution for anyone avoiding white flour, yeast, or sugar but still craving a fresh, soft, sliceable bread. Ready in just a minute using your microwave (or slightly longer if baked), this high-fiber, protein-rich bread is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a healthy sandwich base.
Origin and Cultural Significance
This type of bread gained popularity as part of the low-carb, keto, and gluten-free movement, where quick microwave “mug breads” became a staple for people wanting bread-like texture without refined carbs. Using flax seeds and psyllium makes this bread especially appealing to health-conscious eaters seeking better digestion, sustained energy, and balanced nutrition.
Ingredients (Quantity)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds (whole or ground for smoother texture)
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
Optional Additions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter – improves moisture and flavor
- ½ teaspoon baking powder – creates a lighter, fluffier crumb
- Pinch of salt – enhances taste
- Herbs or spices – garlic powder, oregano, cumin, or rosemary for savory notes
- Seeds or nuts – pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or sesame for crunch
- 1 tablespoon grated cheese – for a cheesy, savory loaf
Tips for Success
- Grease your jar well to prevent sticking.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly before combining with other ingredients to avoid an eggy texture.
- Allow mixture to rest for 1 minute before cooking so psyllium can thicken the batter.
- Microwave in short bursts if unsure — check at 60 seconds and add more time if needed.
- For a firmer crust, bake in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes instead of microwaving.
Instructions
- Prepare Jar: Lightly grease a glass jar or small oven-safe dish.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk until smooth. Stir in flax seeds and psyllium husk until well-mixed. Add baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings.
- Transfer to Jar: Pour mixture into prepared jar, leaving space for the bread to rise.
- Cook:
- Microwave: Heat on high for 1–2 minutes, checking at 60 seconds. The bread should be firm and pull slightly away from the edges.
- Oven (optional): Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes until golden on top.
- Cool and Slice: Let it rest 2–3 minutes before removing from jar. Slice and enjoy warm or toasted.
Description
The result is a soft yet structured loaf with a light, nutty aroma and speckled texture from flax seeds. It has a pleasantly chewy bite thanks to the psyllium, making it sturdy enough for spreading butter, avocado, or cream cheese.
