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.
Tiger Bread (tijgerbrood)
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.
Availability: Rice flour is available in health food stores and in some UK supermarkets. If it’s not with the regular flours, try the aisle with the ‘special diet’ foods.

As yeast is a fermenting agent or a natural leavener, when added in the rice flour paste, it makes the rice flour paste get fermented.
This makes the rice flour paste filled with air and thus, when it get baked in the oven, the outer crust will be more light and airy.

(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.
How To Make Homemade Tiger Bread
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.
