Some life hacks will help you make your baked goods as beautiful as the picture

Flavored buns, pies, and bread are just some of the various types of pastries you can make at home. To make sure that the baked goods turn out golden and beautiful, they need to be greased before they go into the oven.

If done correctly, the pastries will turn out just like in a pastry shop. Pixelinform will tell you when, how, and with what to grease baked goods.

Egg and water

This is the most popular option used to grease baked goods. To do this, mix one medium egg with a large spoonful of water until smooth. The resulting mixture is used to grease the top of the baked goods. The egg and water give the pastry an appetizing golden crust.

Egg with cream or milk

If you want to get a pastry with a matte crust, you can use a mixture of one egg and two tablespoons of cream or milk. The cream or milk adds a delicate flavor and aroma to the baked goods.

Olive oil

Olive oil is an ideal option for baking vegan and lean baked goods. It gives the baked goods a beautiful golden hue.

When to grease baked goods

Grease the baked goods 5-10 minutes before putting them in the oven. This is to ensure that the mixture used to grease the baked goods has time to absorb into the dough and does not burn in the oven.

Tips for greasing baked goods

  • It is better to use a cooking brush to grease baked goods. This will allow you to evenly distribute the mixture over the surface of the baked goods.
  • If you use an egg, it is better to take an egg at room temperature. This will allow the mixture to be better absorbed into the dough.
  • If you use olive oil, it is better to use unrefined oil. This will give the baked goods a richer flavor.

By following these simple tips, you can make ruddy and beautiful pastries.
