Super tasty bread with a creamy soft crumb. Sesame adds great flavor and everything seasoning adds nice bursts of garlic.

I really like semolina bread, nice oven spring and crumb, and this loaf looks delicious.

Great crumb and crust. Nice idea to use the everything bagel seasoning. I’m a big fan of that mix myself.

wow, this looks super-delicious and i’m interested in trying it. i love both semolina and everything seasoning, but i’ve only put everything seasoning on the outside as a topping, never incorporated inside of bread.
does your everything seasoning have salt in it? mine has a good bit of salt (equal proportion to the garlic granules, i think) and i wonder if i should decrease the other salt in your recipe, or mix up a batch of seasoning with no/less salt?
thanks,
c
there is salt in the everything bagel seasoning I used (trader joe's brand). I did think about going with less salt in the bread but ultimately did not change it. With the amount I put in, I did not notice any extra saltiness.
awesome; thanks!
That looks amazing and I love a sesame seed crust.
