    If the answer is a combination of brushing the crust with some variety of paste, and sesame oil, why not, just before baking begins, lightly brush with tahini

    I think this has been tried by another poster (post #27) without success.

    yes, too oily unfortunately

    we can get the cracked effect, it's getting enough of the sesame flavour hat's been difficult. I know it's been said there's no sesame in it, but Asda & Tesco Tiger bread definitely tastes strongly of it, & sprinking on seeds is not the same
    strangely, none of the commercial mixes I've found have any sesame in them :confused:


    but I'm definitely going to give it another go, there must be a way

    hmmm, that's very similar to the one I scaled down & tried earlier in the thread ... see post #7 & the result in post #16

    for hand-made bread I usually use 500g of flour, so ... if we divide that recipe by 10 it should work for 1 large loaf

    Rice flour 150g
    Water 150g
    Sugar 9g
    Oil 7.5g
    Salt 3g
    Fresh yeast 3g ... or 1 1/2 dried???

    sounds like it'll still make quite a lot & we still have to get the sesame in ... maybe sesame oil instead of veg oil would work?

    the proportions look slightly different, so I'll give it a go :)

    tried it out with exactly the same result as last time, looks very Tigery, but doesn't smell or taste Tigery :(

    oh well, back to the drawing board :o

    I wonder if using sesame oil in the bread dough itself would work?

    I think I feel another experiment coming on :D

    Could you not try contacting the various supermarkets and asking for the ingredients? I know that they will supply lists if asked by people with specific dietry requirements. Then the proportions would be the only challenge!

    Tiger bread is great- the loafs go so quickly when my family are around! I won't be buying a BM till I move out, but I figure I can start being curious now :o

    that's an excellent idea! I'd never have thought of that :doh:
    I'll see if I can find out who to contact

    thanks for that :A

    No worries- I only know because my bf has allergies! My cunning plan is to let you guys develop the recipe and then nab it when I get my own place ;)

    Did you notice the recipe attached to the wiki? http://www.megaheart.com/kit_dutchcrunch.htm
