Everything Bread

Directions

• Mix all the everything bagel seasoning ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, yeast and everything bagel seasoning.
• Add the water, and mix with a spatula or your hands until fully incorporated. Do not over mix.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Set in a warm place on your counter 12-18 hours (I usually make this to sit overnight).
• When ready to bake, put an oven-safe dutch oven* with its lid into the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
• Flour your work surface and gently remove the dough from the bowl. Shape the dough into a ball by pulling all edges in toward the middle, then flip the whole thing over for a smooth rounded top.
• Put ball on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Slice 3 slashes into the top of the dough, spritz lightly with water, and sprinkle 1-2 Tbsp of the everything bagel seasoning over the top.
• Carefully remove dutch oven from the oven, and place the dough and parchment paper inside. Cover, and put back into the oven.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes, then remove lid and bake 15 minutes more until crust is light golden brown.
• Remove from oven, let cool slightly, slice and enjoy warm or cold!
