Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for greasing)
- 3 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (or more, depending on preference)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for extra crunch)
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 12-18 hours, or until the dough has risen and is bubbly and sticky.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a Dutch oven or heavy pot with a lid in the oven while it preheats.
- Once the dough is ready, lightly flour a work surface and gently scrape the dough out onto it. Shape the dough into a rough ball by folding the edges in toward the center.
- Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
- In a small bowl, mix together the everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture generously over the top of the dough.
- Carefully remove the preheated Dutch oven from the oven and lift the dough (with parchment paper) into the pot.
- Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the lid and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For an extra crunchy crust, you can preheat the Dutch oven with a bit of cornmeal sprinkled on the bottom.
- If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning, you can make your own by combining equal parts sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic flakes, onion flakes, and salt.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To keep it fresh longer, slice and freeze.
