What is Everything Bagel Seasoning?
Everything bagel seasoning is typically associated with the classic bagel, but you can find the seasoning mix in most grocery stores in the spices aisle now!
This flavorful seasoning mix includes white and black sesame seeds, poppyseeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and sea salt. It’s very heavy on the flavor and adds an incredible savory element to this bread.

Tips for Perfect Quick Bread
- Gently fold batter – be careful not to overmix the batter as this will lead to a tough, gummy texture.
- Measure flour correctly – we use the spoon-and-level technique for measuring flour as this will prevent over-measuring. Use a spoon to scoop flour into the measuring cup, then level it off with the back of a knife.
- Shred cheese yourself – as a rule of thumb, manually shredded cheese is always much better than pre-shredded!
- Bake bread in parchment paper-lined pan – this makes it much easier (and less messy) to remove the bread from pan.
- Test bread with toothpick – your bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Cool bread completely in pan – don’t rush this process – you want the bread completely cooled before removing from the pan and cutting into slices.
Recipe Variations
Try some of these ideas for a different twist on this bread!
- Try a different seasoning mix – if you’ve got another seasoning mix on hand that you’re just dying to try, feel free to give it a shot!
- Change up the cheeses – try a sharp cheddar, gouda, asiago, or Monterey jack.
- Use add-ins – bacon bits, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced chives or rosemary would be great additions to this bread.
- Make it mini – you can use mini loaf pans or a muffin pan for making a mini version of this bread – be aware you will have to reduce the bake time.
Storing and Freezing Bread
This bread stores well sealed at room temperature up to 3 days. We recommend reheating slices before serving for best results!
To freeze bread, cool completely, wrap well, and freeze up to 2 months. Defrost bread on the counter and reheat before serving.

Seriously, there’s no self control in sight when it comes to this bread. The interior is SO rich and cheesy and every bite is exploding with everything bagel flavor.
Highly recommend doubling this recipe so you have two loaves on hand. For obvious reasons.
