eggwash
Beaten yolk coating
Eggwash is a mixture of beaten egg, sometimes with water or milk, brushed onto pastry, bread, or other baked goods before cooking to give them a golden, glossy finish.
The proteins in the egg brown during baking, creating an attractive sheen on pie crusts, dinner rolls, and pastries.
Brush the eggwash over the dough before putting it in the oven.
