switched to using a cornstarch wash on my dill rye now...
Been pretty happy with using a cornstarch wash on my dill rye now.
- Love to get any "rye tips" from folks.
(seeds charnushka and caraway)
Cornstarch wash tip: (can cut in half, ¼ teaspoon cornstarch, ¼ cup water)
Using a fork, blend 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch with a small amount of water to form a paste.
Add 1/2 cup water and whisk with the fork. Microwave or boil until mixture appears glassy/clear, about 30 to 60 seconds on high.
It will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks; discard if it has an off smell.
Brush on bread immediately before and immediately after baking.
Important: Keep solution warm/hot, reheat if necessary PRIOR to applying.
