re: #75 Pie-onist Overlord

I’m making whole wheat vegan challah today. What can I use to brush the crust for a shiny glazed topping instead of the usual egg wash?

Recipe i found in Hebrew for a vegan Challah a while back mentions the following for substituting eggs..

Ingredients:
1/4 cup white sugar
3 spoons water
1 spoon olive oil
A dash of salt
1 spoon cornflower
Optional - some sesame

The “Egg” for the brushing is prepared as follows:
Microwave the sugar and water in a small bowl for about 2 minutes until the sugar melts. Add the olive oil, salt and cornflower and stir for a few minutes until the cornflower is absorbed and the mix has a yellowish color (kinda like a real egg). Optional: add sesame to the mix if desired
