Crust The bread is generally made with sesame oil, which gives it a distinct aroma, and with a pattern baked into the top 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. Other names The name originated in the Netherlands, where it is known as tijgerbrood or tijgerbol ( tiger roll ), and where it has been sold at least since the early 1970s. The US supermarket chain Wegmans sells it as `` Marco Polo '' bread.
