Tiger bread popular in Scotland. I’ve wanted to try it but put off with the wash mixture needed to brush onto the bread

Yeah they call it Dutch crunch in the U.S. and it’s real popular in the San Francisco area

In San Francisco it’s called Dutch crunch. I grew up in the East Coast and never heard of it.

I mostly know it from a semi-viral letter years ago from an adorable tot to… Sainsburys? Tesco? asking why it isn’t called “Giraffe bread”

I love Dutch Crunch, but most of my fellow Americans have no idea what I’m talking about.

It’s popular in Australia, although underrated at the same time? Like It’s widely available but not spoken of much?

Which recipe did you use? I followed King Arthur but I think I didn’t work it enough so my loaves turned flat

Dutch crunch is a San Francisco bread. Common to buy and delicious. But almost never in loaf form. It is almost always in a hoagie or half baguette shape.
Ah, a childhood favorite. I always thought it was a synonym for white bread until I discovered it’s named after the pattern of the crust.

Looks more like Leopard Bread.

The recipe i use for this: 25 gr fine breadcrumbs (chapelure) 75 ml water, 2 gr dried yeast (or 6 gr fresh yeast) 5 gr sugar.
Make this after preparing your dough and put in in the fridge.
Before putting your bread in the oven, add a bit of sunflower oil in the mix and spread it over your bread.
Then bake as usual.

They used to sell it at a popular grocery chain here in South Texas in their bakery department. I absolutely loved it and bought it all the time!! They unfortunately don’t sell it anymore which is odd because it was delicious.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of it. Looks excellent though.

NZ makes a version of it. Ours is a bit blonder

In some specific parts of Romania there’s this recipe where they basically burn the bread’s outside layer to a char, after which they whack the hell out of it with a stick to brush off the charred bits.
