Name: Everything Bagel Sourdough Boule
Ingredients: 1 cup active starter; 2½ cups bread flour; ¾ cup water; 1 teaspoon salt; 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, dried garlic, flaky salt)

The seasoning toasts directly onto the crust during baking, creating an intensely savory exterior over an open, chewy crumb. Many communities near Lancaster County have long topped their breads with seeds and salt in exactly this tradition, it was never a food trend, just practical flavor.

A sourdough boule with a crackling everything-bagel crust, savory, seedy, and addictive.
