Everything Bagel seasoning might be one of our favorite seasonings to use for savory breads. @thebakefeed has taken a deliciously soft potato roll and topped it with Everything Bagel seasoning for a perfect bookends to any savory combination you can imagine. Mashed potatoes and Platinum Yeast are the two ingredients in these buns that make them so amazing. The starchy addition creates a chewy, savory crumb while the yeast helps it rise to the occasion. Bake them once and there will be no going back -- you’ll be hooked for life.
