Everything Topping Mix For Bread And Bagels Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 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, 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., Preheat oven to 375°. Combine egg white and water; brush over dough. Combine salt, onion and seeds; sprinkle over bread. Bake 22-28 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, mix 1/2 cup water, the milk, butter and sugar. Heat just to simmering over medium-high heat. Cool until instant-read thermometer inserted in mixture reads 120°F to 130°F. In large bowl, mix flour, salt and yeast. Add water mixture and 1 egg to flour mixture; stir until just combined.
• Sprinkle flour lightly on work surface. Place dough on floured surface. Knead by folding dough toward you, then with heels of your hands, pushing dough away from you with a short rocking motion. Move dough a quarter turn, and repeat. Continue kneading about 5 minutes, sprinkling surface with more flour if dough starts to stick, until dough is smooth and springy.
• Spray large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size. Dough is ready if indentation remains when you press your fingertips about 1/2 inch into dough.
• Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Gently push your fist into dough to deflate it. Divide dough into 32 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball; place in pan.
• Mix beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush dough with egg wash. Sprinkle with seasoning. Lightly spray sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray; cover pan loosely with plastic wrap, sprayed side down. Let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. Remove plastic wrap.
• Move oven rack to low position so top of pan will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 375°F. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Serve warm or cooled.
• Make Ahead: After dough has risen in bowl, cover tightly with foil; refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Before baking, remove foil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place about 2 hours or until dough has doubled in size. If some rising occurred in refrigerator, rising time may be less than 2 hours. Shape and bake as directed.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake until ingredients are distributed evenly.
• Store tightly covered.
• Always shake well before using.
• For bread topping: I lightly brush the loaves with egg white just before baking and sprinkle with this topping.
• Actual number of servings will depend on how light or how heavy you shake/ sprinkle this on. If I had to guess I would guess I use about 3/4-1 tbsp per loaf of bread.
