Everything Bagel Bread

Step 1

In the bowl of your bread maker, combine the water, oil, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Dump the flour on top of the liquid ingredients, and then sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour.

Step 3

Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the dough cycle.

Step 4

Once the dough cycle has completed, turn the dough onto a floured surface, and gently form the dough into a boule.

Step 5

Place the boule seam sides down on a sheet of parchment paper.

Step 6

Find a pot or bowl similar in size to the dutch oven you're using. Slightly smaller is better than larger.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Meanwhile, place your dutch oven into the oven and preheat the oven to 450f.

Step 9

Once the bread has risen for 30 minutes, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk until completely homogenous.

Step 10

Remove the heated dutch oven from the oven, and remove lid. Set aside for now.

Step 11

Lift the bread boule out of the rising pot by the corners of the parchment paper and carefully set into the dutch oven.

Step 12

Quickly brush the egg wash over the top of the bread boule, then generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top of the egg wash.

Step 13

Replace the lid and return the dutch oven to the oven.

Step 14

Bake the bread covered at 450f for 30 minutes.

Step 15

Remove the lid, and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
