"everything" Bread
Ready In: 45 mins
Serves: 8
Yields: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 (1/4ounce) 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
