Everything Sauerkraut Bread takes a little twist on a classic Amish sauerkraut bread recipe. A slightly dense, moist bread with a slightly sweet flavor, crusty outside with a topping of homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning.
114 ounce can Frank's Sweet Bavarian Style Sauerkraut, drained and chopped
3 1/2cupsbread flour
1/4cupEverything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
Pour warm water in a mixing bowl, sprinkle yeast in, stir until dissolved.
Stir in potato flakes, salt, caraway seeds, brown sugar, oil, and kraut. Gradually add in flour and stir until a stiff dough forms.
Using the dough hook of your stand mixer, knead the dough for 4 minutes. Cover and let rise for about an hour. The dough will double in size.
Grease a 9x5 loaf pan with Crisco. Punch the dough down and form into a loaf, place in the prepared loaf pan, and cover and let rise for another hour until it has doubled in size again.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the top of the loaf with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and set in the center. Let rest in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
Notes
Store in an airtight container and eat within 4 days. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. If you don't have a dough hook, you can knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for the same amount of time. You can sub regular sauerkraut for the Bavarian, but the sweet Bavarian goes really well in this recipe!Can sub all-purpose flour for the bread flour.
