I bloody love this stuff. When ever near *insert name of shop that sells it*, I always buy it.

Now I have a bread maker, and have started making rolls that I can chuck in the oven at lunch. I'd love to make Tiger rolls.

Anyone have any experiences of this? Or know how to make it? I'm pretty sure its a paste you put on the top of the dough.

I know this! Had the same thought myself a while back but never tried making it myself. Its made with sesame oil, and then rice paste on the top to make the tiger look HTH

Rice paste?

So Mix sesame oil and rice paste together and slap it on? Simples

Am I the only one that doesn't do Tiger bread/rolls? I like the taste but the sticky residue makes a right mess of your hands hence I stick with crusty rolls.

He could be working in Sainsburys, jizzing on your tiger rolls. Jigga jigga.

All the ones I've ever had from Asda or Sainsburys have had a sticky residue on the bottom of them which stains your hands and makes a right bloody mess??

Bugger, just went to waitrose, found the oil but not the flour. So I've had to settle with "ciabetta mix" and made that instead.

Will pop to a massive store and see if they have the flour?

Turns out the factory must have had a mix up and just put standard bread mix in the ciabatta bag.

It was just bread, but shaped like ciabatta (by me)

I have a loaf of that rising as we speak. The recipe has rye sourdough starter in it though, so I'm afraid it's only really one for obsessive bakers who happen to have the stuff on hand. Tastes good though...

I get Tiger rolls from my local Tesco.



But I think I've found something better. Honestly.














Tesco salt and pepper bread. It only comes in massive sort of bloomer things but jesus is it good. Possibly better than tiger bread. Try it.
