Everything Bagel Bread

Looking for a new bread machine recipe to try in your bread maker? This creative Everything Bagel Bread, from The Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook, bakes right in the bread pan of your machine. Layers of soft dough are combined with melted butter and "everything but the bagel" seasoning for a delicious, sliceable loaf.

Ingredients

This simple bread machine recipe has just a few easy ingredients:

• All-purpose flour
• Sugar
• Milk
• Butter
• Egg
• Yeast: Instant or Bread Machine Yeast
• Everything But the Bagel Seasoning: We grab ours from Trader Joe's but most grocery chains carry some variety of it. See the recipe card for notes on how to mix your own if you can't find it.

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

The everything bagel bread starts just like all other bread machine recipes:

First, decide which size bread loaf you want to make based on the size of your bread machine. I've included both a 1 ½-pound and a 2-pound version of this recipe.

Follow the ingredient quantities in the recipe card according to the loaf size you chose.

Then, add the liquid ingredients to your bread pan fitted with the paddle attachment.

Pour in the milk, add the egg, and butter.

Be sure to cut your softened butter into at least 3 pieces. You don't want your machine to to have to try to knead a big chunk of butter into the dough.

Next, add the dry ingredients to your bread pan:

Add the flour, sugar, and salt right on top of the wet ingredients.

It is a best practice to sprinkle the sugar and salt around the perimeter of the bread pan so you can keep it away from the yeast until just the right time.

Use a spoon to make a well in the center of the flour, place the yeast in the well.

Place the bread pan back inside the bread machine and then:

1. Select the WHITE or BASIC program (depending on your machine's settings.)
2. Select the coordinating loaf size (1 ½-pound or 2-pound)
3. Press START

Note: Some machines also have a Crust Color setting, I usually use Light or Medium. You'll want to select this before hitting START.

The machine will knead together the ingredients to form a firm ball of dough.

Let the machine progress through:

• the kneading phase
• the first rise
• the brief second kneading

While the machine works, melt the butter for the topping and have your everything but the bagel spice blend ready to go.

When the machine reaches the start of the second rise, remove the bread pan from the machine and place the dough on a baking mat on your counter along with the butter and spices.

Working quickly and not overthinking this too much, simply cut the dough ball into 14 - 16 smaller portions of dough using a pastry scraper or pizza wheel.

Place a single layer of dough balls in an even layer on the bottom of your bread pan.

Drizzle half the butter over the dough and sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the top.

Top with another layer of the remaining dough balls, drizzle the remaining butter, and sprinkle more seasoning over the top.

Hint: This whole step takes me about 2 minutes total. Nothing here has to be perfect. The dough will rise some more in the bread machine before baking and the shape will smooth out.

Just be sure the dough is evenly distributed throughout the pan for an even rise.

Place the bread pan back into your bread maker and close the lid.

There is no need to pause the machine for this step, if you work quickly and return the pan to the machine within 5 minutes, it will proceed to rise and bake just perfectly.

Most of the bread makers we tested took another 2 hours or so to complete the final rise and bake cycles.

Equipment

This is a bread machine recipe and will require a bread maker to make it. If you don't have one, read our thoughts on whether a bread maker is worth it here.

Storage

This bread is best served the day it has been baked, warm out of the bread machine.

However, it will keep for 2 - 3 days in a bread box or plastic bag at room temperature.

You can also freeze the bread, just be sure to cool it completely before freezing and thaw it with the bag open to let moisture escape and prevent soggy bread.

Serving Tips

For a Sliceable Loaf: Cool the bread completely before attempting to cut it with a bread knife into slices. It makes amazing toast or sandwiches.

For a Pull-apart Bread: My kids love to eat this warm from the bread pan, pulled apart by the portions of dough. This is a great way to serve it with a big bowl of soup.
