Bread Maker Tiger Bread Recipe

My Homemade Tiger Bread is pillowy soft and fluffy with a delicious crusty tiger topping. Perfect for making a hearty sandwich or why not try a slice simply buttered and spread with jam ? Tiger Bread Rolls are great alongside any soup or simply filled with pulled pork or your favourite burger.

Tiger Bread is super easy to make. I’ve used my Farmhouse Loaf recipe to make the dough and then added the topping halfway through proving time.

Your bread can be done and dusted in about 3 hours including the dough rising and baking time. This Tiger Bread recipe makes one large loaf or nine large or twelve standard crusty Tiger Bread Rolls.

Dutch Crunch Bread Recipe (tiger Brood)

Tiger Bread is also known as Dutch Crunch Bread and Giraffe Bread. It originated in the 1970s in the Netherlands where Tiger Bread is known as tijgerbrood or Tiger Rolls as tijgerbol.

People have asked, “What is the difference between tiger bread and giraffe bread ?” Well, they are in fact the very same thing.

In 2011 British supermarket ‘Sainsbury’s’ renamed their Tiger Bread as Giraffe Bread. This was in response to a 3 year old girl remarking the crust looked more like a giraffe.

The windowpane test is a consistently reliable way to check your dough is ready. Pinch off a small piece of dough and gently stretch it apart, pulling and rotating the dough into a thin membrane, or window pane, which is translucent when you hold it up to the light.

Uncover your shaped bloomer and gently cover with Tiger Topping, taking care not to deflate the half risen dough. I’ve painted the paste on and I’ve spread it on with my fingers. For me, using my fingers was much easier but either way has the same effect.

The crackly topping is made with a gluten free rice paste. This means the rice paste doesn’t stretch as the bread dough expands, resulting in a tiger patterned golden crackly crust.

This creates a nice steamy oven which leads to a brown crispy crust from starches forming a gel. As the bread bakes, this gel layer turns brittle and glossy creating a perfect crusty Tiger Bread Topping.

Yes, Homemade Tiger Bread and Rolls freeze well. Make sure your loaf or rolls are fully cooled and place in a freezer bag before freezing for up to three months. Tiger Bread can also be sliced and then frozen so you can take out slices as you need them and avoid waste.

Hi Erin, yes you can leave your dough to rise in the fridge overnight. Bring it back to room temperature for half an hour or so before shaping and leaving to rise before baking, Sarah.

(tiger roll), Tiger Bread is basically a soft and fluffy white bloomer bread loaf which has a distinct pattern baked on top owing to the rice flour paste which also gives the bread its flavour and crunch.

Being a bloomer bread loaf recipe, you really do not need any kind of baking pan and this recipe can also be adjusted to make tiger bread rolls if that is what you prefer (have included the instructions for those as well).

What makes it special is the rice flour paste applied on top of the dough before baking which dries and cracks while baking giving the bread its characteristic bold look and flavour.

Whereas, the white bread beneath is expanding in the heat of the oven. So while the bread expands, the rice flour paste on top dries, brakes at certain point and eventually crisps up giving the patterned look.

Pro Tip: Knead your dough for 15 to 18 mins. It is ready when you press your finger against it and it pulls back with some resistance. That indicates that the dough is moist and ready to be proofed.

Instant Pot proofing is the best hack ever. I highly recommend you to check this post on Instant Pot Bread proofing for additional details.

As for this recipe, grease the pot with some oil. Put the dough in it, turn it all around to coat with oil. Or you can also choose to line the base with parchment paper as shown in the image above.

Then start rolling the dough from one end to form a torpedo shape aka long loaf shape. (Roll like a swiss roll cake). (image 12-14)

At mid interval that is after 20 mins, we need to apply the rice flour paste on top to get the perfect crust.

In a mixing bowl, combine together the rice flour, yeast, sugar, sesame oil, salt and water to form a smooth paste. (images 15-17)

Grease a cling wrap with some oil and cover the bread dough with this and then a tea towel and allow it to proof for the remaining 20 mins.

Remember to grease the cling wrap or else the rice flour paste may stick to the tea towel and your crust won't have the beautiful texture.

After the final proofing, bake the loaves in a preheated oven of 200°C for 30 to 35 mins until the top is crackled and nice golden brown in colour and the bottom of the bread sounds hollow (image 16).

Let it cool in the baking tray for 5 mins then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and enjoying.

Take one part, tuck the sides to the bottom and then using your fingers and thumb tighten the dough to form a tight bread roll (images 17-18).

Once shaped, allow it to prove for 20 mins on a greased tray, then apply the rice flour paste as mentioned and prove for the remaining time duration.

The secret to getting the perfect crunchy top is the rice flour paste that is smeared on top of the slightly risen dough.

Whereas the proved white bread dough beneath is rising in the heat of the oven and is constantly expanding thereby tearing the rice flour paste giving the distinctive mottled appearance on the crust.

So now you know there is nothing special about the bread dough, but it is always a little trick under your belt to jazz up things once in a while 😉

You may use other gluten-free flour like Oat Flour, Almond Flour or any Millet Flour to experiment. But my recommendation would be rice flour as it gives the crunchiest crust.

Yeast makes the paste soft and palatable and hence I would not recommend skipping it. Moreover, it is also a leavening agent so it makes the end product to be light and airy.

Sainsbury’s supermarket in the UK changed its name to giraffe bread as it looks more spotted in appearance like that of a giraffe rather than being stripes like a Tiger.

You can have the bread on its own or spread some butter, jam, marmalite or nutella. Alternatively you can also slice the bread rolls or loaves and fill any filling of choice to have your own homemade Subway Bread. This bread can also be toasted.

It does have Yeast on it. So if you like you can add about 1/2 tsp of Marmite, Vegemite or any other brand of Yeast Extract to further enhance the flavour of tijgerbrood but ideally it is not needed.
