And what is your favourite bread type?īlog-checking lines: Sara and Erica of Baking JDs were our March 2012 Daring Baker hostesses! Sara & Erica challenged us to make Dutch Crunch bread, a delicious sandwich bread with a unique, crunchy topping. As long as you put a thick amount of crust and allow the bread to prove for a second time with paste on top, you can be sure to get a lovely crackly pattern. I've since made a few batches of it (being as addictive as it is) and I found the best results from the crackle are in the recipe below. Them to cool completely but I couldn't resist and buttered one and ate it warm from the oven. The sesame oil gives this bread a distinctive taste and it is wonderfully addictive. As the bread proves and the crust expands from the yeast, the distinctive pattern is made and this is furthered by baking. The crackle paste made out of rice flour, water, yeast, oil, sesame oil, sugar and salt. The crackling effect is achieved easily, by covering the bread with a paste and you can do this to any bread dough adding just 20 minutes to your regular bread recipe.

As it turns out I dont really like Vegemite but then other offers came around and when someone offered me their devon and tomato sauce sandwich I eagerly swapped. Ill swap you for this Vegemite sandwich one boy said. ∻ut what IS it? someone asked and they breathed in the smell. I could have been carrying a dinosaur egg and been less conspicuous. Other kids gathered around and peered at it curiously like it was a museum specimen.
