Instructions: The different finishes give a different look or taste to bread. Warm butter makes the bread very soft, and I like that for dinner rolls.

you can use the rest of the egg in an omelette, but that grosses me out.

i have convinced the teenage step daughter to use the rest of the egg as a beauty mask. She swears it gets rid of zits and she stopped buying the prescription filled with vitamin A (egg yolk has a lot of that)

a whole-egg wash is the best way to stop sweet loafs, like Portuguese sweet bread, from having a thick, hard crust. A shiny, thin crust is well worth the price of one egg.
