Ingredients

¾ cup + 1 tablespoon warm water (90 to 95 degrees F)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
2 ⅓ cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Baking soda bath

6 cups water
2 teaspoons baking soda

For the egg wash

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons Everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Making the dough: Start by pouring the water, yeast, and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer(or large bowl and use an electric handheld mixer). Allow these ingredients to rest for about 4-5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy/frothy. This is a sign that the yeast has been activated and that the bread dough will rise properly.
Then, add in the salt, olive oil, and flour, mix together until combined. Once there are no more dry flour streaks, mix the dough together on medium speed for 4-5 minutes. This will knead the bread and help develop the gluten.
Let Rise: Proceed to place the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a towel, let it rise for 90 minutes in a warm, draft-free location. I like to place my bowl in the microwave. After the dough has risen, transfer it to a clean flat counter space.
Shape Dough: Continue to flatten the dough out into a rectangle that is about 10x8 inches big. Then, roll the dough into a log so that it can fit nicely inside a 9x5 bread loaf pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let it rest again.
Prep: In a big and deep pan or large pot, boil 6 cups of water. The bread needs to be able to fit into the pan, so it needs to be at least 6 inches deep. Then, get the oven preheating to 350 degrees F.
Next, grease a 9x5 bread loaf pan with butter and set it aside. I like the crust that butter gives, but you can use cooking spray if desired. Once the water is boiling, add 2 teaspoons of baking soda.
Boil Bread: Proceed to take the bread out of the pan and place it into the boiling water. Boil it for 1 minute, and then flip the bread over and boil on the other side for 1 minute. The bread doesn't need to be submerged. Use both a spatula and tongs to carefully remove the bread loaf from the water and place it into the buttered pan.
Assemble: After that, make the egg wash in a small bowl and continue to brush the top of the loaf with the egg wash. Next, sprinkle the entire top of the loaf with the everything bagel seasoning.
Bake: Place the bread loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The internal temperature of the bread should be 195 degrees F once it is cooked.
Cool: Remove the bread from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Use a thin knife to release the sides of the loaf from the pan. Take the bread out of the pan and place it onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Be careful, as some of the toppings may be loose. Serve and enjoy!
