Tiger bread (Dutch: Tijgerbrood), also known as Dutch crunch and under various brand names, is a bread of Dutch origin that has a mottled crust.[1]
Crust
[edit]The bread is generally made with a pattern baked onto the top made by painting rice paste onto the surface prior to baking.[2][3][4] The rice paste that imparts the bread's characteristic flavour dries and cracks during the baking process. The bread itself has a crusty exterior, but is soft inside. Typically, tiger bread is made as a white bread bloomer loaf or bread roll, but the technique can be applied to any shape of bread.
Other names
[edit]The name originated in the Netherlands, where it is known as tijgerbrood[5] or tijgerbol (tiger bun), and where it has been sold at least since the early 1930s.[citation needed] The first published reference in the USA to "Dutch crunch" bread was in 1935 in Oregon, according to food historian Erica J. Peters, where it appeared in a bakery advertisement. The US supermarket chain Wegmans sells it as "Marco Polo" bread.[6] In the San Francisco Bay Area it is called Dutch Crunch.[7]
In January 2012, the UK supermarket chain Sainsbury's announced that it would market the product under the name "giraffe bread", after a three-year-old girl wrote to the company to suggest it, and the letter and reply gained traction on her mother's social media account.[3]
