can you not use sugared water as thats whats used onhot cross buns?

It does mean you'd have to get used ot teh sweetness though.

That was my question after a quick Google on bread glazes (I've never
glazed any of mine and so wasn't sure what the key purpose was). GB
mentioned the colour but as a utilitarian I wouldn't really care about
that and the wholegrain loaves I bake generally come out the colour I
am used to seeing bread being in any case?
