No Flour Bread in a Jar

by

🍯 The Core “Bread in a Jar” (The 5-Minute Method)

This version is perfect for a quick, soft, and moist individual loaf.

Ingredients

  • 3 Large eggs

  • 1 cup (240 ml) Milk (dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk)

  • 2 tbsp Flax seeds (whole or ground for a smoother texture)

  • 2 tbsp Psyllium husk (use husk, not powder, for best results)

  • 1 tsp Baking powder (highly recommended for a lighter rise)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. Mix Wet: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until completely smooth.

  3. Combine Dry: Stir in the flax seeds, psyllium, baking powder, and salt.

  4. The “Magic” Rest: Let the batter sit for 3 minutes. The psyllium will absorb the liquid and turn it into a thick, jelly-like batter.

  5. Jar Prep: Grease a wide-mouth glass jar (like a 16 oz Mason jar) or a small ceramic ramekin with olive oil or butter.

  6. Bake: Pour the batter in (it should fill about ¾ of the jar). Bake for 25–30 minutes.

  7. Cool: Let it cool in the jar for 10 minutes before sliding a knife around the edge to pop it out.

🥜 The “Gourmet” Grain-Free Loaf (High Protein & Fiber)

If you want something heartier that feels like a dense Nordic stone-age bread, follow this variation.

Ingredients

  • The Base: 3 Eggs + 1 cup Milk

  • The Binders: 2 tbsp Psyllium + 2 tbsp Flax seeds

  • The Crunch: ½ cup (70g) Chopped almonds + 2 tbsp Pumpkin seeds + 1 tbsp Sunflower seeds

  • The Flavor: ½ tsp Garlic powder + ½ tsp Dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Toast the Seeds: For extra flavor, lightly toast the almonds and seeds in a dry pan for 3–5 minutes until fragrant before adding them.

  2. Combine: Mix everything together as in the core recipe.

  3. Rest Longer: Let this version sit for 10–15 minutes; the extra seeds need time to settle into the psyllium gel.

  4. Bake: Since this is denser, bake for 35–40 minutes at 180°C (350°F).

💡 Pro-Tips for Success

  • Avoid “Purple Bread”: Some brands of psyllium husk can turn bread a slight purple or grey color when baked. It is perfectly safe to eat, but if you want it to look “white,” look for “Blonde Psyllium Husk.”

  • Slicing: Because there is no gluten, the bread is fragile while hot. Wait until it is completely cool to get those perfect, clean slices.

  • Storage: Since this bread is very moist, it’s best kept in the fridge (up to 4 days) or sliced and frozen.
