No Knead Everything Bagel Bread

Ingredients

5 ½ cups bread flour or all-purpose flour (660 g) *see note below for fresh milled
½ tsp instant yeast (2 g)
2 tsp salt (12 g)
2 ½ Tbs Everything Bagel mix (22 g)
2 Tbs olive oil (25 g)
2 1/4 cups cool water (510 g)
For topping: 2 Tbs Everything Bagel mix (18 g)

Instructions

Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix well to form a sticky dough.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest & rise at room temperature.
This can be done overnight, or in the morning to be baked in time for dinner. Allow at least 8 hours of rise time but it can go as long as 14 hours.

Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface. Shape the dough into a loose round using floured hands or a bench knife by folding the dough to the middle all the way around, then flip dough the seam side is down.

Place into a 5 or more-quart Dutch oven or covered baker. I like to use a trivet and dough sling. Cover and let rise at room temperature 1 ½-2 hours, or until a light indentation remains when gently pressed.

Before baking, lightly spritz or brush the top with water and sprinkle with about 2 Tbs of everything seasoning. Using a dough lame or knife, score to allow for expansion.

Place Dutch oven into a COLD oven. Set the oven temperature to 450°F; start the baking time once the oven is turned on. Bake for 50 minutes with the lid on. Remove the lid and bake an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the loaf is deeply browned and the internal temperature reaches approximately 205°F. Let cool before slicing.

*If using fresh-milled flour instead of bread flour:

Use 660 g fresh-milled hard white wheat

Increase water to 540–560 g (start with 540 g; dough should be soft and sticky).

Increase yeast to 1.5 tsp
