There is a recipe that requires 2 eggs, what if I just use 1 egg?

-I have a recipe for cinnamon bread that requires 2 eggs but I only have 1 egg left. What will happen if I only bake it with 1 egg?Lots of things could go wrong. Get that 2nd egg.



Ask a friend or neighbor



Call someone who might be coming home from work or school



Baking is a science and eggs are one of the most important components in baking. Without eggs your cookies, breads, cakes and confections may not turn out as well as you would hope. They may not rise, they may be dry, they may have a coarser crumb, they may look pale and sickly, they may have little taste, they may feel weird on the tongue, they may not smell right.



I wish I had an egg for you. You really need it, especially for your breadIt'll actually be OK even though measurements in baking have to be exact. Traditional breads use only flour, water and yeast, and it's not only until modern times that people have begun to spice up plain bread by using eggs, milk, etc. If anything, it'll be less velvety and rich, but it'll still turn out.
The reason the eggs probably go in the pastry is either to make them rise and/or to keep them from falling apart. So if your cinnamon bread does not cook/rise properly and falls apart when you pick it up, well, you'll know why.

But this is just speculation on my behalf.
One egg equals a quarter cup, liquid.

I'd try substituting a 1/4 c. of yogurt or sour cream for the egg. You want to keep the liquids in balance, but omitting an egg probably won't hurt it.
You have to be very precise, especially when baking. It won't turn out right. Either get another egg or half the whole recipe if that's possible.
IF you are using a bread machine, you must be exact.
IT WILL EXPLODE
