Tiger Roll
Tiger Roll, also known as Tiger Bread, is a distinctive pastry made unique by its special rice flour coating. It owes its name to the cracked crust reminiscent of tiger stripes. This bread first became popular in the Netherlands in the mid-20th century and then spread worldwide. The special coating not only gives it a unique appearance but also provides extra crispiness to the outside of the bread. If you like pastries with a unique texture, this recipe is definitely worth trying!

Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, pour the lukewarm water, add the sugar and yeast. Mix well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2
Add the flour, salt, melted butter, and milk, then start kneading the dough. Knead for at least 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
4
While the dough is rising, prepare the signature striped topping. In a small bowl, mix the rice flour, warm water, yeast, sugar, oil, and salt. Mix until smooth, then let it sit for 15-20 minutes to thicken slightly.
5
Turn the risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into evenly sized buns or shape it into one larger loaf.
6
Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then brush them with the rice flour topping. Let them rise for another 20 minutes.
7
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the breads for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is cracked and golden brown.
8
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack to maintain the crispy outer texture.
