Bread in a Jar in a Minute! No Yeast, No Sugar, Only 3-Ingredient Simple Seeded Bread
This quick seeded bread is perfect when you want fresh bread without the wait. Made with just three simple ingredients, it requires no yeast, no sugar, and no kneading. The batter comes together in minutes and is cooked directly in a microwave-safe jar or mug, making it an excellent option for a fast breakfast, snack, or side dish.
The combination of flour and yogurt creates a soft, tender texture, while mixed seeds add crunch, flavor, and extra nutrition. Since there is no yeast involved, there’s no need for proofing or rising time. The baking powder does all the work, giving the bread a light and fluffy structure.
One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. You can use your favorite seed blend, such as sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, flax, or chia seeds. The result is a hearty bread with a pleasantly nutty flavor that pairs well with both sweet and savory toppings.
Because the bread is cooked in a jar or mug, cleanup is minimal. It’s ideal for small households, dorm rooms, or anyone who wants a single-serving bread without turning on the oven. The bread is best enjoyed warm, straight from the container or sliced once cooled slightly.
Nutritionally, this bread provides carbohydrates for energy, protein from the yogurt, and healthy fats and fiber from the seeds. It can be a satisfying alternative to store-bought bread and is easy to customize according to your dietary preferences.
