Tijgerbrood ~ A Tiger Bread

We have entered the last week of this Mega Marathon and today we post the recipe for the letter 'T'. T for Tijgerbrood.

The Tiger Bread is also known as the Dutch Crunch or Dutch Crust. It has been popular in the streets of Holland/Netherlands since the early 1970s. The mottled look of the bread makes it popular with the kids and adults alike. 

As I have mentioned in my previous post, I have lost quite a few pictures as the SD card of my camera got corrupted. I had another bread  (Tsoureki, a Greek Pumpkin Sweet Bread) all ready and drafted when I realized that I had lost the pictures of this bread. I was so disappointed as this bread was loved by all at home. In fact my family insisted that I re-bake the Greek bread, but I couldn't lay my hands on the pumpkin and so decided to go with another bread. 

I am glad that this bread came out just as well and my little one was excited to see the tiger/giraffe pattern on the rolls.

Sugar 2 Tbsp
Warm Water 1 cup

Method Of Preparation -


To Knead the dough - 
In a bowl of warm water (1 cup), add sugar and yeast. Set aside for 10 minutes for it to froth up.

In the stand mixer bowl, add the flour, salt and butter. Add in the yeast solution and knead until the dough is soft and pliable (about 10 minutes). [I had to add about 2 tablespoons of more water while kneading.]

In a well oiled bowl, cover the dough. Set aside the dough in a warm place to double. [about 1 1/2 hrs]

To prepare the tiger paste - 
In a bowl of warm water, add sugar, salt and yeast. Set aside for a few minutes. Add in the rice flour and sesame oil. make a paste and set aside for 15 minutes.

To Make the Tiger Bread Rolls - 
Make equal portions of the dough and roll into smooth dinner rolls. 

Apply a thick coating of the tiger paste on each of the dinner rolls and arrange them 2 inches apart on a lined baking tray.
