Everything Bagel Bread

A deliciously chewy and flavorful bread inspired by everything bagels, perfect for toasting or sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Bread Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Everything Seasoning
  • 1.5 cups Lukewarm Water

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the lukewarm water with instant yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Whisk to distribute evenly.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Add the Everything Seasoning: Flatten the dough and sprinkle the seasoning on top. Fold and knead to incorporate it evenly.
  6. First rise: Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled.
  7. Shape the loaf: Punch down the risen dough, shaping it into a loaf on a floured surface.
  8. Second rise: Place in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for 30-45 minutes until above the rim.
  9. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) about 15 minutes before baking.
  10. Add the topping: Brush the top with water and sprinkle with more Everything Seasoning.
  11. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  12. Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or yogurt to the dough during mixing.
