What is an egg wash?

Is it a mixture of eggs, egg whites, water and oil? Is it often added to breads and sweets to create a glazed look? Can it create the desired texture of a crispy and flaky crust when baking bread?

Hello @mmng23!

An egg wash is a common practice when baking pastries and other bakes good. An egg wash is a mixture of eggs and a little bit of liquid, typically water or milk. The egg is beaten together with the liquid to create the "wash." The egg wash is brushed onto a pastry to make it shine and help the pastry brown. It is commonly used on pies crusts, breads, rolls, and other baked goods. An egg wash can also act as a "glue" to bind together the top and bottom crusts of a pastry or pie. To make an egg wash, it is recommended to use 1 teaspoon of liquid for each egg used. You can also add spices and other flavorings to your egg wash to create delicious and beautifully shiny pastries!
