Everything bagel bread is an easy homemade bread that harnesses the convenience of your bread machine with the magical powers of the cast iron dutch oven for a perfect loaf of bread. You'll love this everything bagel bread!
I'm kind of a collector of things vintage. Somehow, having something that has been previously used and loved really fills me with joy.
This dutch oven is no different.
My mom came by one day a couple of months ago and said she had a gift for me. I nearly cried when she brought out none other than The Pepere Pot.
You see, this pot belonged to her mother's father. We've dated it back to the early 1900s. I am absolutely thrilled to be the one to hold this heirloom until I'm ready to pass it on to my own kids.
I spent weeks being to scared to use this pot, and then I realized that in order for the magic to continue that I need to use and love it too. So we've been baking a lot of dutch oven bread and soups!
This recipe is dedicated to The Pepere Pot.

How to make
- In the mixing bowl of your bread machine, combine the warm water, salt, sugar and oil. Dump the flour on top, and finally sprinkle the yeast on top of the flour.
- Place the mixing pan in the bread machine and set to dough cycle.
- Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a boule.
- Place the boule, seam side down, on a piece of parchment paper. Lift the parchment paper by the corners and place your boule in a pot, roughly the size of your dutch oven, cover with a kitchen towel to rise for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place your dutch oven into the oven and preheat to 450f.
- After the final rise, mix up an egg wash by whisking an egg vigorously in a small bowl until completely homogenous.
- Carefully remove the hot dutch oven from the oven, and remove the lid. Set aside for now. Lift the bread boule out of the rising pot by the corners of the parchment paper, and carefully place the bread into the dutch oven.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash all over the top of the bread, then generously sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
- Return the lid to the dutch oven and bake the bread at 450f for 30 minutes covered, and then another 10-15 minutes uncovered. Bake the bread until the crust is a deep golden colour.
- Use the parchment paper again to remove the bread from the dutch oven and allow to cool completely before cutting. (If you can... I usually can't)
Recommended Tools
- Bread machine - I own the Breville Bread Maker and it's an absolute workhorse. It sits on my counter 24/7 and hasn't let me down in over 5 years.
- 7 Qt cast iron dutch oven - Cast iron is incredibly durable and will last forever if treated properly! Definitely get yourself a good cast iron dutch oven!
- pastry brush - I prefer to use silicone bristled pastry brushes as I find they are easier to clean and last forever without losing bristles.

This was great! I had to add a little additional flour during the making of the dough. I have saved to Favorites and will make again! Thank you!

I have the Zojirushi Home Bakery supreme. After the mixing and kneading cycle am i supposed to let it rise in the bread maker and then put the dough on the floured surface and form into a boul, or take it out of the bread maker and let the dough rise in the proofing bowl in my oven?

I quickly checked out the manual for your bread machine, it looks like the basic dough cycle will knead and complete the first rise then punch down before beeping to indicate the cycle is done, this is perfect! After the cycle is complete, remove the bread pan, turn the loaf on to your floured surface and form into a boule at that point, it will complete the second rise after the shaping :) hope that helps!

Can this be baked in the bread maker instead of the Dutch oven? I want to make it but don’t have the Dutch oven

Absolutely! As soon as the final rise is complete, open the bread maker and brush the top of your loaf with egg wash then sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning and bake it right in the bread maker!

I absolutely love this bread! I used an 8 qt. Dutch oven and the size worked out fine. It was a little wet after it was removed from the bread machine but working in a little flour during the shaping helped a lot. I will be making this frequently. Thank you!

I want this bread sooo bad! I tried today to make it, but it came out much too wet. I would have never been able to make it into a ball. I’m going to try again, but for now I’m too annoyed with the waste. I very carefully measured out the water. Next time I will weigh the flour. SOOO disappointed! I wonder what I could’ve done wrong??? Any suggestions?

@Ally, I used King Arthur bread flour.

So sorry that it was so wet. I have no idea what could have gone sideways. This is the same base recipe as my super popular bread machine bread recipe. Next batch, I would definitely start with 1 3/4 cups of water.
Are you using bread flour or all-purpose flour? Bread flour has more protein so it's able to handle larger quantities of water.
