Burning Bright
Tiger bread has a unique mottled crust and is generally made with sesame oil and with a pattern made by painting rice paste onto the surface prior to baking.
The paste dries and cracks during the baking process. The rice paste crust also gives the bread a distinctive flavour. It 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.
