The Ultimate Guide: Washes for Breads & Rolls

The Ultimate Guide to Perfect Looking Breads and Rolls. Learn what 12 different washes did for the tops of our dinner rolls.
When I first got married, I was obsessed with finding our own family recipes. The recipes I would make every holiday and every time guests came over. I wanted the recipes to be so good that people wouldn’t just ask for the recipe, they would say “I NEED that recipe”.
Dinner rolls were high on my list to perfect. And we did find that recipe. This recipe is what kickstarted our search for the best cinnamon rolls. If you haven’t tried our homemade dinner rolls, please do. They are buttery and soft and go well with everything from chicken and noodles to a Thanksgiving turkey dinner.
From day 1 I knew the roll recipe tasted perfect, but a few years later I wanted my rolls to look perfect, too. How exactly did bakers get that golden brown, shiny top to their rolls? Or the buttery roll that didn’t shine but was oh, so soft on top?
This is the results of our recent test. Find the complete guide here: www.tastesofli...

How do I get a crispy to crust on homemade white bread? I use bread flour in making my loaves if that makes any difference. I made dill bread yesterday & it didn’t have a crusty top which I prefer. Didn’t have anything stated in recipe about the crust.
