what type of glaze do i use to get lighter baked color bread?I mean color looks like light sunny brown similiar to french fried.
I use egg wash but tends to be darker color after baked.

%4y 3tt 2hi53 by itself. The protein in the yolk is what turns dark.

thanks wayne,it works after I applied egg white only.
oso i was told to mix whole egg wash wif milk to get lighter color,is there
a percentage ration you know how to mix them?
cos I don't want to waste the egg yolk if i only use the egg white.

I don't think mixing the yolk with milk will help much, since both
contain protein which darkens with baking. I would try mixing the yolk
with water instead 2-3 tablespoons of water per yolk. It will still be
darker than the egg white alone.
