Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (around 110°F or 45°C)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dried garlic flakes (optional)
Dry Ingredients for Fermentation:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
Instructions
- Blend the dry and wet components in a spacious mixing vessel, whisking flour, salt, sugar, and yeast together. Incorporate warm water and olive oil, stirring until a cohesive, slightly tacky mixture forms.
- Envelop the bowl with a clean textile or transparent film, allowing the concoction to ferment at ambient temperature for 12-18 hours. The dough should substantially expand and develop surface bubbles.
- Gently deflate the risen mixture, molding it into a rustic spherical shape. Transfer the dough onto parchment paper to facilitate easy movement.
- Ignite the oven to 450°F, simultaneously positioning a Dutch oven with its lid inside to heat thoroughly.
- Delicately moisten the dough’s surface with water, then lavishly dust with everything bagel seasoning. Enhance the flavor profile by sprinkling additional sesame and poppy seeds, complemented by aromatic garlic flakes.
- Extract the scorching Dutch oven, carefully nestle the parchment-lined dough inside, and seal with the lid. Roast for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue baking 10-15 minutes until the exterior achieves a rich golden hue and emits a hollow percussion when tapped.
- Allow the freshly baked loaf to rest and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and presenting.
Notes
- Swap out traditional flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond or rice flour for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Keep the dough’s hydration levels consistent by using a kitchen scale for precise ingredient measurements.
- Experiment with different seed combinations to customize the everything bagel seasoning blend for unique flavor profiles.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container to maintain its crispy crust and soft interior for 2-3 days.
