A beaten egg works for me. I don't buy pourable egg whites in a
carton, but I usually only need half an egg's worth - so I'd certainly
try it if I had any on hand.

Apply egg wash with a brush.

I might add *before* baking.

You occasionally make perfect sense Sheldon! :-)

depending upon the size of the item you are 'seeding,' the best and
firmest way to anchor the seeds may be to roll the item in the seeds.
Paint the dough surface with a wash of either full beaten egg, egg
white, milk, cream. The wash depends upon what kind of color you want
on the finished product.

I'd use a pastry brush to brush on slightly beaten egg white and then
sprinkle the seeds on. I wouldn't try to put it through a spray bottle.
I expect it would clog the nozzle and make a helluva bad language event.

Mr Tweedles can't distinguish a brush from a sprayer.

I can't resist a challenge.

And wash the eggs... in your case suck them clean.

Yep! Egg wash. And I have no idea what egg whites from a carton are.
Could this person be talking about 'Egg Beaters'? Even so, same solution.
Brush it on the bread, sprinkle on the seeds. Go wild!

Good idea. I can never get the Seeds of Bunches to stick
either.

Uncolored egg whites are generally available; look for them next to the
Egg Beaters.

Could be. There's another product that says "egg whites".

The product is like EggBeaters but without the added ingredients to make it
yellow. One brand I regularly see, right next to the EggBeaters, is
JustWhites.

Paint egg white on with a basting brush. The texture is too viscous to
spray.

"this person"?

>Yep, it's 'Egg Beaters.'

No it's not -- I get the store brand. And I'm going to try it because
like I said at the beginning, I want to spray it, not paint it.

Well, if you want to spray on some sort of 'wash' to make seeds stick
then I would recommend a watered down concoction of Elmers Glue.

I remember back in the late 60's early 70's a neighbor took a crafts
class and made one of those "preserved on a bread board" loaf of bread
centerpieces. It involved coating the baked loaf of bread with Elmer's
glue which dries clear. She sent it to her mother as a gift and her
mother wrote back how much she enjoyed the bread LOL

I think your spray bottle with egg whites from one of those cartons is a
great idea.

Try brushing some thinned maple syrup on to hold the seeds to the bread.
Or coat with butter and roll in seeds.

Good luck with cleaning your spray bottle!
