With its crackly, golden crust and soft, fluffy interior, Dutch Crunch bread—also known as Tiger Bread—is a feast for the senses. The crunchy, mottled topping creates a bakery-style look while delivering a subtle sweet-savory flavor that pairs beautifully with sandwiches, soups, or just a pat of butter.
Ingredients
Directions
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add oil, salt, and flour; knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape: Punch down the dough and shape into a loaf or rolls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Topping: In a bowl, mix rice flour, sugar, yeast, oil, and warm water into a thick paste. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Spread the topping generously over the risen dough.
Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes for rolls or 25–30 minutes for a loaf, until crust is golden and crackled.
