I bake most of the bread we eat, and it's nearly all vegan.

So do I (but only from kits). ;-)

But, for one
thing!

Ok ...

I need/like to glaze some of the loaves, and I haven't found a decent
substitute for egg to do that. I've tried the liquid from tinned
chickpeas, but it's really naff compared to nice shiny egg.

Oh.

So, can you suggest a decent vegan substitute, please?

No, sorry mate I can't (well not from personal experience) but there
do seem to be various solutions (one you have tried).

The loaves I bake are just a wholegrain and seem to 'brown up'
perfectly well on their own. ;-)

We have vegan guests, and I'm fed up with apologising for the poorly
glazed bread.

Have you asked them if they care? The chances are if you are
accommodating them in general I think they would be happy with that or
what about asking them?

I do know a professional baker and I'll ask him if he glazes his vegan
range and if so, what he uses (and get back to you).
