You've heard of everything bagels. well, this is the homemade bread version. Please note that cooking time does not include rising time. Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (recommend fleischmann's) |
3/4 cup warm water |
1 cup 2% milk, warm |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 egg yolk |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
4 -4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 egg white |
2 teaspoons water |
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon minced onion, dried (not fresh) |
1 teaspoon caraway seed |
1 teaspoon caraway seed |
1 teaspoon poppy seed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, egg yolk, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a 20-in. rope. Place ropes on a large greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4. Combine egg white and water; brush over dough. Combine the salt, onion and seeds; sprinkle over bread. Bake at 375° for 22-28 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
