Everything Bagel Bread Recipes

NO-KNEAD EVERYTHING BAGEL BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, salt, if using (see NOTE above; if using our homemade version you will not need salt), and Everything Bagel seasoning.
• Add the water and mix to form a sticky dough. Plop in the softened butter and mix to incorporate. The easiest way is to squish the dough between your fingers.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside to rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
• Wet your fingers with water. Grab one side of the dough and stretch and fold it up over onto itself. Rotate the bowl 90 degrees. Repeat three more times until each side of the dough has been stretched and folded. This is your first folding set. Re-cover with plastic wrap. Rest the dough 30 minutes.
• Repeat 4 more sets of the stretch-and-fold technique, letting the dough rest for 30 minutes after each set, for a total of 2 hours.
• After the last stretch-and-fold, let the dough rest, covered, until it's pillowy, about 1 hour.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently stretch it out a bit being mindful not to deflate it. Fold the bottom third up and onto the center. Repeat on the left, right, and top.
• Flip the dough over, so it's seam-side down. Cup your hands around the loaf and gently drag it from the upper left to the lower right of the work surface while rotating the loaf. Do this several times to assure a tight skin.
• Generously flour a kitchen towel (not terrycloth which will cause the dough to stick) and line the bowl with it. Gently flip the dough into the bowl so it's smooth-side down and seam-side up. Fold the towel over the loaf. You can also use a large banneton, if you wish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
• Place a Dutch oven, or any large pot with a tight-fitting lid, in the oven and crank the heat to 450°F (232°C).
• Cut a large piece of parchment paper to use as a sling for the bread.
• When the oven is up to temperature, carefully remove the pot and set aside the lid.
• Turn the bread out from the bowl or banneton, onto the parchment paper. Brush or spritz the top of the loaf with water and sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of Everything Bagel seasoning. Use a sharp knife or razor blade to slash the top. (For a round boule, slash a square pattern; for a long loaf, slash once along the length of the loaf.)
• Using the parchment sling, carefully lift the loaf then lower it into the Dutch oven, drop in an ice cube, cover, and slide the pot into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C) and continue to bake, uncovered, until the bread reaches an internal temperature of 200°F (93°C) on an instant-read thermometer poked through the top, 20 to 25 minutes more. If the Everything Bagel seasoning is darkening too quickly, lightly cover the loaf with foil.
• Remove the pot from the oven. Grab onto the parchment and lift the bread out of the pot. Transfer the bread to a rack to cool completely. Don't you dare think of slicing the loaf until it's totally cooled. (I'll let you get away with slightly warm.) A hot loaf will be unpleasantly gummy.

EVERYTHING BAGEL BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of your bread maker, combine the water, oil, sugar, and salt.
• Dump the flour on top of the liquid ingredients, and then sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour.
• Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the dough cycle.
• Once the dough cycle has completed, turn the dough onto a floured surface, and gently form the dough into a boule.
• Place the boule seam sides down on a sheet of parchment paper.
• Find a pot or bowl similar in size to the dutch oven you're using. Slightly smaller is better than larger.
• Pick up the bread boule by the corners of the parchment paper and place them into the rising pot. Cover the pot and place in a draft-free space to complete the final rise for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place your dutch oven into the oven and preheat the oven to 450f.
• Once the bread has risen for 30 minutes, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk until completely homogenous.
• Remove the heated dutch oven from the oven, and remove lid. Set aside for now.
• Lift the bread boule out of the rising pot by the corners of the parchment paper and carefully set into the dutch oven.
• Quickly brush the egg wash over the top of the bread boule, then generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top of the egg wash.
• Replace the lid and return the dutch oven to the oven.
• Bake the bread covered at 450f for 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid, and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

GLUTEN-FREE EVERYTHING BAGEL BREAD

Steps:

• For the onion topping: Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Once the pan is nice and hot, add the coconut oil and the onions and stir frequently until translucent and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Set the onions aside. Combine the poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sea salt in a small bowl.
• For the bread: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9-by-5-inch nonstick loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the 2 long sides of the pan. This will make it much easier to lift the bread out of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, dried onion flakes, poppy seeds, toasted sesame seeds, fine salt, baking soda and caraway. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the egg whites and cream of tartar (if you don't have a stand mixer an electric beater will suffice). Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, coconut oil and lemon juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet egg mixture in 3 small batches, making sure to thoroughly combine the dry mixture and the egg mixture each time. The batter will look like a very thick paste. Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong. Just make sure to break up any clumps of flour with a rubber spatula to ensure that the dry and wet ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• Add a third of the whipped egg whites to the batter and slowly fold them in. This won't be a very easy task, take your time and know that eventually they'll combine. Add another third of the egg whites and fold. Finally, add the remaining egg whites and fold together; there should not be any chunks of batter left but the batter will never completely combine (white and yellow portions will remain).
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the batter with the sauteed onions and half the seed mixture. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick can be inserted in the center and comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Use a knife to release the sides and lift the bread out using the parchment paper. Cool completely, about another 30 minutes.
• For the toast: Cut yourself a 1-inch slice of bread and give it a thin coat of cream cheese. Top with a layer of crispy cucumbers, and if you feel like it, top it with some of the reserved seed mixture!

EVERYTHING BAGEL DIP

Steps:

• Combine sour cream, cream cheese, and mayonnaise in the bowl of a mini food processor. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds; scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in bagel seasoning. Blend another 10 seconds and taste, adding more seasoning if desired. The flavor will develop the longer it sits.

EVERYTHING BAGEL DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, mix 1/2 cup water, the milk, butter and sugar. Heat just to simmering over medium-high heat. Cool until instant-read thermometer inserted in mixture reads 120°F to 130°F. In large bowl, mix flour, salt and yeast. Add water mixture and 1 egg to flour mixture; stir until just combined.
• Sprinkle flour lightly on work surface. Place dough on floured surface. Knead by folding dough toward you, then with heels of your hands, pushing dough away from you with a short rocking motion. Move dough a quarter turn, and repeat. Continue kneading about 5 minutes, sprinkling surface with more flour if dough starts to stick, until dough is smooth and springy.
• Spray large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when you press your fingertips about 1/2 inch into dough.
• Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Gently push your fist into dough to deflate it. Divide dough into 32 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; place in pan.
• Mix beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush dough with egg wash. Sprinkle with seasoning. Lightly spray sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray; cover pan loosely with plastic wrap, sprayed side down. Let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. Remove plastic wrap.
• Move oven rack to low position so top of pan will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 375°F. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Serve warm or cooled.
• Make Ahead: After dough has risen in bowl, cover tightly with foil; refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Before baking, remove foil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place about 2 hours or until dough has doubled in size. If some rising occurred in refrigerator, rising time may be less than 2 hours. Shape and bake as directed.

• Mix flour and Greek yogurt together in a medium bowl until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a surface dusted with self-rising flour, and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Continue adding flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut the dough into 4 pieces, roughly 4 ounces each. Roll each segment into a smooth ball. Use your thumbs to poke a hole in the center of each round, then gently stretch the dough until it becomes a uniform-sized ring.
• Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Whisk the egg in a small bowl to create an egg wash, then brush a light coating on top of the dough. Sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
