Sugar Glaze for Shiny Baked Goods

Recipe by Nikoleta, vegan cook and author of every recipe in the Tofu app · @surovadcerka

Ingredients

sugar glaze

• 100 g granulated sugar
• 100 ml water

How to make it

1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water in a 1:1 ratio (for example, 100 grams of sugar to 100 ml of water).
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the sugar completely dissolves, creating a clear syrup.
3. Let the syrup cool completely, then pour it into a sealable jar or bottle.
4. Store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for several weeks.
5. You can brush the pastry with the syrup before and after baking. For non-yeasted doughs, it’s enough to brush it right after taking it out of the oven while it’s still hot.
6. The sugar will caramelize on the surface during baking or finishing, creating a beautiful glossy shine.
