Bread Didn't Turn Brown - Sliced Bread On Gray Surface

What causes bread not to brown on top?

How do I get my bread to brown on top?

What are the best techniques for creating dark color and shine on bread crusts? To create dark, burnished crusts on their loaves, professional bakers brush milk, egg, or water onto the surface of the risen dough before baking.

Why is my bread not brown on the bottom?

If your bread is too brown on the top but still not browning on the bottom, it may be because you didn't fully preheat the oven enough.
