Wikipedia
An egg wash is a mixture of beaten eggs and liquid, usually water or milk, which is brushed onto the surface of a pastry before baking. An egg wash is often used to make pastries shiny and golden or brown in color, and it also is used to help toppings or coatings stick to the surface of the pastry, or to bind pastry parts together. The part of the egg used and liquid added determines the finished look of the crust. Vegan substitutes for egg wash include vegetable oil, non-dairy milk and butter substitutes, and light corn syrup thinned with water.Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, ''The Joy of Vegan Baking'', p. 23, Fair Winds, 2007. Egg washes can also be used on Calzones, or on fish.
