The Essential Guide To Baking

PROBLEM: Making bread loaves and rolls have a shiny crust.

Wash their tops with a whole fresh egg mixed with a pinch of salt. This may cause the top

to brown too quickly, so wash the loaves about 3/4 of the way through their baking time.

Rolls can either be dipped or sprayed with evaporated milk. This will cause their tops to shine.

PROBLEM: Is it all right to freeze my breads and rolls?

Yes. Freezing is the best way to keep breads and rolls fresh. Always freeze breads and rolls

even when keeping them for only a few days.

PROBLEM: What should I use to keep my breads from molding?

Nothing, unless you use a propionate in the mix. Always use clean equipment and pans. Cool

breads quickly in a draft free place. Freeze breads to keep them and mold will never be a problem.
