Tiger Bread Recipe
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.

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.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Dana, it’s always a pleasure to hear from readers. I’m so pleased your rolls were so soft and they do look pretty when they're baked.

There’s nothing special about the bread itself – its just regular bread dough. Its nice to have a party trick up your sleeve though, to jazz things up once in a while. The secret to getting the crackled effect is painting the half-risen rolls (or loaves) with a yeast paste made with rice flour. Let the bread finish rising, then bake as usual.
When the proved dough hits the heat of the oven, it continues to rise. The rice paste, because its gluten-free, doesn’t stretch and so as the dough rises, the paste ‘tears apart’ to give the distinctive mottled appearance.
Just as an aside, I always think it looks more like the patterning on a giraffe than a tiger. Still, if it were called giraffe bread, I wouldn’t be able to do this: *mimes clawing* rrrrrOWWLL!!!

In fact, I really don’t understand the snobbery attached to the use of bread machines. I use mine more like a food-processor, and no-one seems to mind if you chop stuff in one of them as opposed to by hand, so what IS the problem? Just pop in the ingredients and then I can do my own thing while it does its own thing, and bing! in 45 minutes the dough is ready to make into whatever takes my fancy. I still like to make speciality breads by hand, but for a basic dough, the machine can do it more quickly and more cleanly. Consequently, I don’t bother with all the weird stuff that seems to appear in bread-maker-specific recipes. Bottom line: if I wouldn’t use it when making bread by hand, then it doesn’t go in the bread machine. If you don’t have a bread-machine, you can use exactly the same ingredients to make the dough by hand.
