How to Make Dutch Crunch Bread
Make the Dough
Heat the Milk – In a microwave-safe bowl, heat up the milk for about half a minute. It should be lukewarm, not hot. Proof – Add sugar and yeast and set aside until it is frothy, about 5 minutes. Make the Dough – Combine the flour, melted butter, salt, and activated yeast in a large bowl until well combined. Knead – Turn your dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Rise – Shape your into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Then cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 1-1½ hours or until it has doubled in size. Divide – When the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it evenly into 8 pieces. Then working with one piece at a time, shape it into a ball. As you go, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the bread rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.
Get Ready to Bake
Preheat the oven to 375℉/190℃ and make the topping mixture. Topping – In a medium bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, melted butter, yeast, and water in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Cover it and set it in a warm place to rise while the bread rises. Brush – Spoon or brush 2 tablespoons of the rice topping over the balls, making sure to cover all the sides. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the baking tray at around 10 minutes. Cool – Take it out of the oven and let it cool. Serve – Enjoy them as is or with butter. You can also make a sandwich or burger.
