Louis Francois OvoFree Dorure is a plant-based egg wash alternative made from wheat protein. It is designed as a vegetal gilding ingredient that replaces egg wash on baked goods while offering easy dispersion and simple application. It is especially useful when you want an egg-free and vegan-suitable finishing solution.
Use
OvoFree Dorure is mixed with water and applied to the surface of doughs before baking. It is designed for easy handling in bakery production and gives a practical alternative to traditional egg wash.
Recommended Dosage
- 15% OvoFree Dorure
- 85% water
Applications / Practical Uses
OvoFree Dorure is best used anywhere you would normally apply an egg wash, including viennoiserie, breads, buns, pastry crusts, and savoury pastries. It is particularly useful when you need a consistent egg-free surface finish without preparing a custom vegan wash from multiple ingredients.
Observations
OvoFree Dorure is a yellowish powder with neutral taste and no odour. It contains 80 g protein per 100 g and has a pH of 3–6. It is suitable for Halal, Kosher, Vegetarian, and Vegan use, but it does contain wheat/gluten.
Differences from Other Ingredients
Unlike standard egg wash, OvoFree Dorure is plant-based and made from wheat protein. Compared with improvised vegan washes such as plant milk or oil, it is designed specifically for professional glazing use, so it offers more consistent dispersion and repeatable application.
Origin
