How do you get the top to brown so nicely? My bread is always pale!

Egg yolk and 3 tbsp milk mix together and try not to brush too much on the top of the dough before baking or else its gonna taste eggy

So you apply that on top before putting the dough in the oven to bake and that's it or do you re apply mid way through?

Yep apply on top of the dough after 2nd rise and beforw baking. On other types of bread, they dont put egg wash on top before baking but they put it in the middle of the baking, but it might affect the dough so I do t recommend it. They do it on korean sausage bread. If you want a more shiny and perfect top, apply the double egg wash method. Put 1 layer of egg wash on top, wait for few minutes for it to dry out a bit, then apply 2nd coating of egg wash
