egg wash
Pre-bake brushing
Egg wash is a mixture of beaten egg (sometimes with water or milk) brushed onto pastry, bread, or other baked goods before cooking.
It creates a golden, glossy finish and helps toppings like seeds or sugar adhere to the surface: Brush the pie crust with egg wash before baking.
