Ingredients

1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 c water

Steps:

1. In a small saucepan, with a small whisk, stir together water and cornstarch. Heat mixture to a gentle boil. Stir, reduce heat, until mixture thickens and is translucent. (Adding more water if glaze is a bit too thick) Cool. Brush on loaf about 10 minutes before baking is finished and again 3 minutes before bread is completely done.

Tips:

Choose the right cornstarch. Not all cornstarch is created equal. For the best results, use a high-quality cornstarch that is finely milled and free of lumps.
Make sure the cornstarch glaze is thick enough. The glaze should be thick enough to coat the bread evenly, but not so thick that it is difficult to spread.
Apply the cornstarch glaze to the bread before baking. This will help the glaze to adhere to the bread and create a shiny, golden crust.
Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will help the glaze to set and create a crispy crust.
Let the bread cool before slicing. This will help the glaze to set completely and prevent it from cracking.

Conclusion:

A cornstarch glaze is a simple and effective way to add shine, flavor, and texture to homemade breads. By following these tips, you can create a perfect cornstarch glaze that will make your breads look and taste their best.
