Scale
Dough Ingredients
- Scant 2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
Topping
- 1 egg
- 2 to 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In the bowl of your bread machine, combine scant 2 cups warm water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt.
- Add Flour and Yeast: Dump 4 cups bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients, then sprinkle 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast on top of the flour.
- Dough Cycle: Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the dough cycle to mix and knead the dough.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently form it into a boule (a round loaf).
- Prepare for Rising: Place the boule seam side down on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Set Up Rising Container: Find a pot or bowl slightly smaller than your Dutch oven to serve as a rising container.
- Final Rise: Lift the parchment corners holding the dough and place the dough into the rising pot. Cover and place in a draft-free space for 30 minutes to rise.
- Preheat Oven and Dutch Oven: While the dough rises, place your Dutch oven into the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C).
- Prepare Egg Wash: Crack 1 egg into a small bowl and whisk until homogeneous.
- Remove Dutch Oven: Carefully remove the heated Dutch oven and lid from the oven once preheated.
- Transfer Dough: Lift the dough by the parchment paper corners and set it carefully into the Dutch oven.
- Apply Egg Wash and Seasoning: Quickly brush the top of the dough with the egg wash, then generously sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning over the top.
- Bake Covered: Replace the lid on the Dutch oven and bake at 450°F for 30 minutes.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the lid and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use warm water (about 110°F) to activate the yeast properly.
- Ensure the Dutch oven is preheated to create steam for a perfect crust.
- The everything bagel seasoning can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
- Brush the egg wash quickly to prevent dough cooling and incomplete rising.
- Cool the bread completely before slicing to maintain its structure and texture.
