Delicious sourdough bread with Everything Bagel seasoning. Slices with perfect crunchiness on the top and soft creamy interior.
Everything Bagel seasoning brings out unique flavor and seasoning.
What is Everything Bagel seasoning.
The classic bagel seasoning is made with mix of both black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, dried garlic flakes and salt . Simple and tasty at the same time.
It is universal seasoning that you can use in bagels, which is classic, then in sourdough bread, crackers, avocado your name it. It gives crunchiness in every bite.
I have read that Everything Bagel seasoning was invented by sports marketer Brandon Steiner in 1973.

I made a baguette on Saturday, then doubled the recipe yesterday to make a boule and a baguette this morning. I've been making sourdough breads since 2020, and this has been the best dough I've worked with! It's delicious with cream cheese or butter. I'm going to try different seasonings and toppings with it, and see what happens. Thank you very much!

Luke says
There seems to be an issue with the recipe. The recipe has 300 g of water in total for a 75% hydration with 400 g of flour. But the instructions initially state, "Mix all the flours in 320 g water in a large bowl," and then also mentions after that:
"Then after 30 minutes add salt and rest of water."
It would seem that the initial 320 g is more than the recipe calls for. Then, it seems to imply there is more water to add. Can you explain this?
Another issue is that under one of the photos is mentioned, "In large bowl combine both bread flour and rye flour and autolyse the flours," but the recipe calls for Spelt flour?
Swathi says
It is 300g water, first you need to add 290g water first during autolyse and then add 10g water while mixing salt I have updated the recipe. Also it is spelt flour not rye flour as it is a typo. If you made the recipe please share me a picture.
