A few tips on painting the challah

Naturally as soon as a book is published you remember things you've left out.

Here are a few tips on painting the challah with egg wash

1) You can get away with 1 egg -- no problem. Just mix the whole egg with water, and paint it on.
2) However, your finished bread will look much more golden if you use the yolk of 2 eggs.
3) If you think you're going to run out of wash, just stir in a little more water.
4) Extra egg wash can be used for French Toast
5) In an absolute emergency -- when you've got no eggs, just use cold water -- this will give the challah a glaze -- but no yellow color.
