Best Everything Topping Mix For Bread And Bagels 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 BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, butter, sugar, egg yolk, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour., Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a 20-in. rope. Place ropes on a large greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. Combine egg white and water; brush over dough. Combine salt, onion and seeds; sprinkle over bread. Bake 22-28 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.

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.

EVERYTHING TOPPING- BAGELS, ROLLS, BREAD

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake until ingredients are distributed evenly.
• Store tightly covered.
• Always shake well before using.
• For bread topping: I lightly brush the loaves with egg white just before baking and sprinkle with this topping.
• Actual number of servings will depend on how light or how heavy you shake/ sprinkle this on. If I had to guess I would guess I use about 3/4-1 tbsp per loaf of bread.
