(I'm trying to figure out what to brush on nut roll dough before baking. Some nut roll recipes say whole egg, some whole egg with water, some egg whites, some cream

Absolutely NO CONSENSUS!

If you want it crispy use water. I used butter on my bread loaves. Egg with water for shine I think

Do you need to consider getting nuts to stick to the surface?

I always add water or milk to whole egg just to loosen it. I actually can't imagine using just egg. Wouldn't you just end up with an omelet on top?

It was an interesting experiment that Lizzy did.

I use a well beaten egg on my challah

marg, the nuts are all rolled inside. I ended up using an egg white with heavy cream.

Just so-so appearance.

Decided not to use these for wedding. The dough is yeast and I’m worried it will dry out once sliced and plattered.

Going to add my Dyslexic sauce to the potica nut mixture and fill cream cheese tassiess

Hummm, I only do sourdough, but if you think pie crust egg is shine, I never bother with anything else, but a whipped whole egg. No extra, no waste. Butter I think would be flavor, and water…dunno, I’d go with crispy.
