Tiger Bread (Tijgerbrood)
One serving has 214 kcal and 6 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of thiamin (44%), selenium (34%), niacin (28%), folate (26%), riboflavin (25%) and manganese (23%). Ready in 125 minutes.

- Preparation: 98 min
- Cooking: 27 min
- Makes: 1 serving (87.6 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, sesame
Ingredients
- 45 g Flour, bread (strong)
- 32 g Water
- 1 g Yeast, active dry
- 0.6 g Salt
- 2 g Vegetable oil
- 1 g Sugar
- 5 g Rice flour
- 1 g Sesame oil
Method
- Makes 1 slice of a 12-slice loaf; multiply all quantities by 12 for a whole loaf.
- Mix the bread flour, half the water, the yeast, the oil and the salt to a smooth dough; knead for 8 minutes until elastic. Cover and leave to rise for 1 hour until doubled.
- Shape into a round or oblong loaf, place on a tray, cover loosely and prove for 30 minutes.
- For the tiger topping, mix the rice flour, remaining water, sugar and sesame oil into a smooth, spreadable paste.
- Spread the paste evenly over the top of the risen loaf just before baking — it cracks into the characteristic tiger stripes as it bakes.
- Bake at 220 °C (425 °F) for 25-30 minutes, about 35 minutes for a full loaf, until the crust is deep golden and crackled and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
