SPICY FENNEL BREAD



Spicy Fennel Bread image

The smell of this spicy fennel bread is still lingering in the house making me feel so cozy! A few years ago, a breakfast spot opened up downtown that started making spicy fennel bagels. As an avid everything bagel lover, I was not sure at first but was quickly convinced to give it a try. Oh my goodness, was I happily surprised. The spice given off by the fennel was perfection melted into the bagel. A bit later I moved and craved these bagels so I decided to make my own version, spicy fennel bread.

Time 11h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups water, at room temperature
½ teaspoon active dry yeast
1 pinch white sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon minced onion
½ teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Combine water, yeast, and sugar in a measuring cup. Mix well.
  • Combine flour, fennel seeds, salt, red pepper flakes, onion, and garlic in a large bowl. Mix well until combined and any flour clumps are broken up. Slowly pour in the yeast-water mixture and stir into the flour.
  • Knead the bread by hand until dough is well combined and you have an even consistency. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest on the countertop, 10 to 14 hours.
  • Remove dough onto the counter and knead once more. Let rise, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • While bread rises, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Sprinkle the bottom of an oven-safe Dutch oven with flour, cover with the lid, and place in the oven while it preheats.
  • Remove the Dutch oven and carefully place the dough in the pot; cover with the lid.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to bake until golden, about 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool.

SOFT BREADSTICKS WITH FENNEL SEEDS



Soft Breadsticks with Fennel Seeds image

Yield Makes about 45 breadsticks

Number Of Ingredients 7

a 1/4-ounce package (2 1/2 teaspoons) active dry yeasts
a pinch of sugar
3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon pepper
an egg wash made by beating together 1 large egg yolk with 2 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer proof the yeast with the sugar in 1/4 cup lukewarm water for 5 minutes, or until it is foamy. With the paddle attachment beat in 1 cup warm water, 3 cups of the flour, the salt, the fennel seeds, and the pepper and beat the dough until it is smooth. With the dough hook of the electric mixer or by hand knead the dough, kneading in enough of the remaining 1/2 cup flour to form a smooth, elastic dough, for 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball, put it in a well-buttered large bowl, turning it to coat it with the butter, and let it rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is double in bulk. Punch down the dough and, working with one small piece of dough at a time, form it into 1/4-inch-thick ropes, each about 8 inches long. Arrange the ropes on buttered baking sheets, brush them lightly with the egg wash, and bake them in batches in the upper third of a preheated 450°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until they are golden. The breadsticks may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container. Reheat the breadsticks, wrapped in foil, before serving.
