YEAST BREAD CRUST OPTIONS

When you are making home made yeast bread you can try this if you want soft, evenly browned, but not shiny crust.

Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter just after the second raising and just before baking. This will give your bread a golden matte look.

If you want a shiny crust, combine 1 egg and 1 Tablespoon of milk in a small bowl. Just after the second raising, and just before baking, brush the top of the bread with the mixture. When you bread is done baking you will have shiney evenly browned crust.
