For an extra glossy crust, brush the bread with the egg wash a second time after the first 15 minutes of baking. If you don't have fast-rising yeast, you can use active dry yeast, but you may need to increase the rising time. Experiment with different types of pepper for a unique flavor profile. White pepper will add a subtle heat, while smoked paprika can bring a savory depth.
