Q&A for How to Make Substitute Baking Powder

Instead of an egg wash, you can opt for brushing liquid oil over your baked goods, like we do with our bread, to achieve that desirable golden hue. Another option is to create a mixture of tapioca starch and water, whipping it up and lightly brushing it over the surface. Additionally, some recommend using non-dairy milk, such as rice or almond milk, for a similar effect. It's important to note that while these alternatives add a sugar and fat component to achieve browning in the oven, they may not replicate the exact results of an egg wash.
