Method:
- Prepare the Dough: If you’re making bread from scratch, prepare your dough according to your recipe. For store-bought dough, let it thaw if necessary.
- Add the Egg: Once your dough is shaped and ready for the final rise, beat an egg until smooth. Gently pour the beaten egg over the top of the dough, using a pastry brush to spread it evenly.
- Customize: At this point, you can sprinkle some herbs, spices, or even a bit of grated cheese over the egg-coated dough for added flavor. This step is optional but can elevate the final product.
- Bake: Follow your bread recipe’s baking instructions. The egg wash will bake into a stunning, golden crust.
