Notes
What Is Everything Bagel Seasoning?
Everything bagel seasoning is the savory seed and spice blend traditionally associated with everything bagels. Most blends contain a combination of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt.
Instead of using it only as a topping, this Bread Machine Everything Bagel Bread mixes the seasoning directly into the dough so you get that familiar savory flavor throughout the loaf.
What Everything Bagel Seasoning Should I Use?
You can use your favorite store-bought everything bagel seasoning for this recipe. Because seasoning blends can vary in the amount of salt, garlic, onion, and seeds they contain, the flavor may vary slightly depending on the brand you choose.
We use 2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning for a noticeable savory flavor without overpowering the bread.
Tips for the Best Everything Bagel Bread
Use bread flour. This recipe was developed using bread flour, which provides the protein and structure needed for a soft, nicely risen loaf.
Measure your flour carefully. If you’re measuring by volume, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it rather than packing it down. Too much flour can produce a dense loaf.
Follow your bread machine’s ingredient order. We add the ingredients in the order listed in the recipe, but bread machines vary. Follow your manufacturer’s instructions if your machine recommends a different order.
Choose your favorite crust setting. We prefer a medium crust, but you can adjust the crust setting based on your bread machine and personal preference.
Let the loaf cool before slicing. Giving freshly baked bread time to cool helps the interior finish setting and makes it easier to slice cleanly.
How to Serve Everything Bagel Bread
The savory flavor makes this bread especially versatile. Try it:
- Toasted with butter
- With cream cheese
- For breakfast sandwiches
- For turkey, ham, or chicken sandwiches
- For grilled cheese
- Alongside soup or chili
- Toasted and topped with avocado and eggs
Storage and Freezing
Allow the loaf to cool completely before storing it. Keep the bread in an airtight container or bread bag at room temperature for several days.
For longer storage, slice the cooled loaf and place the slices in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freezing the bread pre-sliced makes it easy to remove only the slices you need for toast or sandwiches.
