Serves: 1 loaf
 
Ingredients
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 tbsp. oil
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour + more as needed
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3 tbsp. melted butter
  • ⅓ cup everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
  1. In a stand mixer or in a large bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and milk. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.
  2. Add oil, flour, and salt and mix to combine. Knead for 10 minutes either by hand or using your stand mixer. Add more flour as needed if dough is too sticky, but not too much or it will make the bread too dry.
  3. Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  4. When the dough is done rising, punch it down and transfer to a floured surface.
  5. Roll the dough into a large rectangle about ¼ inch in thickness. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. You won't use all the butter or bagel seasoning, the rest will go on top.
  6. Cut the dough into 3-4 inch squares. It's ok if they aren't perfect, the bread will still turn out really well.
  7. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper for easy bread removal. Place the dough squares in side by side. They may not quite fill the pan, but they will once the dough rises again.
  8. Place the bread in a warm place to rise until the dough rises to the edges of the pan, about 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  10. Drizzle the bread with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining bagel seasoning.
  11. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing.
  13. Bread can be served warm or at room temperature.
