Tiger bread is a delicious and fun Dutch traditional bread made as a loaf or into buns then brushed with a paste made from yeast, oil, rice flour, sugar, salt, and water. The rice paste is what creates the tiger pattern on the top of the bread and provides a slightly sweet taste. Serve this bread warm at your next dinner.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
1/2 cup water, warmed to 115 F
1 cup whole milk, warmed to 115 F
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/4 ounces dry yeast
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided, more as needed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Topping:
1 cup rice flour
1 1/4 ounces dry yeast
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup water, warmed to 115 F
Steps to Make It
1. Gather the ingredients.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the water, milk, butter, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
3. Add the whole wheat flour and 2 cups of all-purpose flour and mix until it forms a thick batter.
4. Switch to the dough hook and add the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix on medium-high speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, and clings to the dough hook, about 5 minutes. If mixing by hand, add about 1/4 cup of flour at a time and knead until incorporated. Repeat until all the flour is used. You will need to knead for 7 to 8 minutes by hand, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Oil a large bowl, add the dough turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place (like the oven with the light on) to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each piece of dough into a smooth ball and place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Cover the baking sheet with a clean damp kitchen towel and set aside to rise for 30 minutes. Read More…
