Baking glazes

Mcooker: best recipes About bread
Baking icingNo matter how you bake - in a bread maker or in the oven, the bread will be more beautiful and tastier if you grease it with glaze. Before baking, during or early baking, glazes give the product a golden, softer or crispier crust. The glaze applied to the finished product gives additional flavor and makes the crust more shiny. Sometimes the glaze plays the role of a velcro to which the dusting sticks.



If you bake bread in a bread maker, use the icing before baking or during the first 10 minutes. Apply the frosting quickly so you don't lose heat when the lid is open. Do not use sticky icing on the sides of the loaf or it may stick to the mold.

Glazes containing milk, eggs, and salt water can be used on freshly baked bread. Spread the icing on the bread as soon as baking is complete and leave for 3-4 minutes to dry and the crust is shiny. Then remove the loaf from the bread machine as usual. This method is especially useful if you want to sprinkle something on top of the bread.

For hand-sculpted loaves, glaze the loaves before or after baking, and sometimes before and after.

GLAZES BEFORE OR DURING BAKING

For an attractive shiny crust, coat with icing while baking.

MILK

OLIVE OIL

BUTTER

The buns are greased with melted butter before baking so that the crust is bright but soft at the same time. Parker's American buns are oiled before and after baking, while cornbread is only sprinkled with butter before baking. The butter imparts flavor to the bread, which is oiled.

SALTY WATER

Mix 2 tsp of salt with 2 tbsp of water and brush over the dough immediately after baking. The crust will be crispy but pale.

EGG WHITE

EGG YOLK

GLAZES AFTER BAKING

HONEY, PATOKA AND MALT

ICING

SYRUP

Photo Yeast cakes like Savarin are often topped with sugar syrups flavored with liqueur, other alcohol, or lemon juice. The syrup softens and decorates the bread at the same time.





JAM

Photo Jam or confiture can be melted with a little liquid. Choose water, liquor, alcohol (rum or brandy), or fruit juice depending on the type of bread you will be using. The liquid liquefies the jam, and the jam adds flavor and aroma. Lubricate muffins and sweet bread, Danish buns with it for a shiny, sticky crust. Top can be sprinkled with dried fruits and nuts.

Choose the right jam for your product. When in doubt, use apricot.


GLAZE WITH SUGAR POWDER
