Glazing
Coating a food with a thin, glossy layer, such as an egg wash before baking or a sugar or fruit glaze afterward.
- Techniques and preparation methods
Before baking, egg wash or milk gives breads and pastries a shiny brown crust. After baking, powdered sugar glazes, apricot jam glazes and chocolate glazes add shine, flavor and protection from drying.
Glaze while the item is slightly warm for a thin, translucent finish, or once cool for a thicker, opaque one.
