Everything Bagel Bread Recipe

An everything bagel bread recipe packed full of garlic, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds, plus plenty of everything bagel seasoning!

What Inspired This Everything Bagel Bread Recipe?

Today I’m sharing one of my go-to savory bread recipes: everything bagel bread! I’ve made more loaves of this salty, seedy, crunchy, garlicky bread than I can count, and everyone always devours it in record time.

Everything bagels have long been a staple at New York City delicatessens and bagel shops. Traditionally, they’re made with a white bagel dough and a variety of toppings, including sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. The best way to enjoy an everything bagel? Slathered in cream cheese, and piled high with smoked salmon, capers, and onions.

Drawing inspiration from this New York City classic, my everything bagel bread recipe captures the familiar flavors of an everything bagel in a loaf of white bread. Featuring a blend of sesame seeds, poppyseeds, and garlic, the dough comes together in a matter of minutes. After proving, I’ve shaped the dough into a loaf and rolled the entire thing in everything bagel seasoning for that unmistakably salty, garlicky, crunch.

Use slices of homemade everything bagel bread for sandwiches, enjoy alongside a salad or a bowl of soup, or toast and eat for breakfast (spread with a thick layer of cream cheese, of course!)

Everything Bagel Bread Ingredients

To make this everything bagel bread recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Instant Yeast – You can use active dry yeast, but remember that you’ll need to allow a few minutes for the yeast to prove in the lukewarm water (it will look foamy and bubbly) rather than immediately adding the dry ingredients.
• Granulated Sugar – Granulated sugar gives the yeast a boost, and add a touch of moisture to the dough.
• Bread Flour – You can make this recipe with bread flour, all purpose flour, or any combination of the two. Keep some extra flour on hand for dusting the countertop or rolling mat.
• Olive Oil – You’ll need olive oil to make the bread dough, plus more for greasing the bowl and coating the loaf.

• Seeds – For the classic everything bagel flavor, you’ll need poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
• Garlic Powder – Garlic powder (garlic granules, or granulated garlic) gives the dough a garlicky flavor.
• Kosher Salt – I test my recipes with Diamond Crystal, but any kosher salt is fine. Fine sea salt or table salt will also work.
• Everything Bagel Seasoning – You can use any brand of bagel seasoning. Many people swear by the Trader Joe’s blend; I usually buy mine from Amazon. You can also make your own homemade everything bagel seasoning.

Tools for Making This Bagel Bread Recipe

Here are a few of my favorite breadmaking tools. These aren’t mandatory, but they will make the process easier:

• Bread lame or kitchen shears – For scoring the loaf.
• Elastic food storage covers, shower caps, or clingfilm/plastic wrap – To cover the bowl while the dough proves.
• A half-sheet rimmed baking tray – For shaping and baking the loaf.
• Bench scraper – For mixing the dough.
• Baking parchment – To line the tray.

Make-Ahead and Storage Suggestions

Everything bagel bread tastes best on the day it is made. Wrap leftover bread in foil or place in a reusable bread bag and store at room temperature for up to one day.

Baked and cooled bread can also be wrapped in foil and frozen for up to three months.
