Everything Bread Recipe

Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 25 Servings

45 25 70

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg yolk
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon each sesame, caraway and poppy seeds

Directions

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, 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.
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. Yield: 1 loaf (25 slices).

When new neighbors move into our neighborhood, I always take them a baked gift. The last two new neighbors received this bread and both said it was the best bread they had ever eaten!!!

The bread was beautiful. I agree with greenfirefly, that the basic bread recipe was nothing special. There was a bit too much salt on the top, and at 375 it baked little too quickly. Next time, I'll add some herbs to the dough and bake at 350....but I will definitely make it again. Very good!

I have been making this bread for the past 3 or so years for Thanksgiving and now make it for our Christmas Eve meal, too. It's wonderful! Great texture and wonderful flavor. I use skim or 1%, whichever I have and it turns out great. Otherwise, no changes - delicious!!!

I made this bread for Thanksgiving. It was beautiful and everyone loved it. I used my stand mixer with the dough hook. Wonderful recipe. Will be making for Christmas

this was a very good bread, nice texture, easy to make, attractive to give. the only thing i didn;t like was that the high temperature - 375 degrees F - browned the onion bits a little too quickly.

This is an easy to make & extremely tasty bread. I actually put this together in my bread machine to mix & 1st rise then all thats left is to braid, rise & bake.

I found this bread was beautiful,and had nice texture and was easy enough to make (with my stand mixer with dough hook),but found the flavor slightly bland. May add some garlic powder to dough next time as well as on top. ( I used sesame seeds,poppy seeds,dried minced onions,garlic powder and salt for my toppings)
