Dutch crunch bread is a category of bread with mottled crust that was originated in Netherlands. It is popular in parts of America as well. The bread is generally baked using sesame oil for its distinct aroma and a crusty exterior using rice flour paste prior to baking. Due to this pattern it is also popularly known as ‘Tijgerbrood or Tijgerbol’ meaning tiger roll and Giraffe bread. The rice flour paste forms a crunchy and light crust with the soft bread inside making it an ideal option for sandwiches. This bread is baked using whole wheat flour.
