Ingredients
- 480 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 25 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 240 milliliters Warm water
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
- 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 70 grams Rice flour
- 3 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 60 milliliters Water
- 15 milliliters Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 5
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
While the dough is rising, prepare the Dutch Crunch topping by combining the rice flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt in a small bowl.
Step 7
Add the water and vegetable oil to the topping mixture and stir until smooth. The consistency should be like a thick paste, similar to peanut butter. Adjust with additional water or rice flour if necessary.
Step 8
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Step 9
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Step 10
Shape each piece into a round or oblong shape, as desired.
Step 11
Place the shaped dough pieces onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
Step 12
Generously spread the Dutch Crunch topping onto each piece of dough. Ensure the entire top surface is covered.
Step 13
Allow the dough to rest for another 15 minutes to allow the topping to set.
Step 14
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 15
Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
