In reply to Mark.s.vickery@gmail.com. Hi Mark! Although eggwash will keep, it's better to apply it right before baking. It needs to stay on the top of the crust in order for it to brown. Thanks for the great question. Hope your friend is feeling better!

I have an egg wash question. I’m making some chicken pot pie and taking them to a sick friend an hour away. I plan to take them unbaked. Can I apply the egg wash as much as 2-3 hours before they go in the oven?

In reply to Dawn Jibilian. Hi Dawn! I'm not sure why a recipe would say to brush the inside of the dough before rolling it up. If it acts as a "glue" it would only be applied to wear the dough meets and overlaps. I do not believe there is any other purpose for egg wash other than adding color to the dough or to serve as a glue to hold dough together. Personally, I would skip that step. Good luck!

Why is it used on a rolled out dough before adding ingredient layers and rolling the dough up? Just wondering , I have a pepperoni roll recipe that calls for brushing an egg wash on the dough before adding the cheese and pepperoni and rolling it up. What would happen if I skipped that step? How important is it? Thanks!

I see my fatal flaw! I have never added any liquid to it, duh! I have wondered why I could never get it to work right. Thought it was just me, lol. Well, I guess it really was me 🙂
