Egg Wash
An egg beaten with a splash of water, milk, or just on its own, brushed onto dough. The proteins and sugars brown in the oven.
Origin
A baker's glaze made from a hen's egg.
Flavour
It should not taste of anything once baked, only shine and colour.
How to use it
Brush a thin coat on pastry or bread before baking. A second coat deepens the colour.
Storage
Make it when you need it. Leftover wash keeps a day in the fridge.
