<h3>What is tiger bread?</h3>
<p>Tiger bread is a type of Dutch bread, also going by the name of Dutch Crunch. It has a unique, mottled outer crust that is crunchy and chewy, whilst the dough inside remains soft and airy.</p>
<h3>Why is tiger bread called tiger bread?</h3>
<p>Tiger bread gets its name due to the unique patterning on its crust, resembling a tiger's stripes. It is also often referred to as giraffe bread as the mottled pattern also resembles a giraffes spots.</p>

<p>Milk bread and brioche are both delicate, soft and sweet breads. Brioche is richer than milk bread as it is enriched with lots of butter. Brioche also contains egg, giving it its yellow colour and chewy texture.</p>
<h3>How is milk bread different to regular bread?</h3>
<p>When making milk bread, the only liquid you'll need to use is milk. With most other yeast-based bread recipes, like with regular white bread, you'll use water.</p>
<h3>Why isn't my milk bread fluffy?</h3>
<p>If your milk bread is coming out dense rather than fluffy, the dough is likely under-kneaded. For your milk bread to become soft and fluffy, the dough needs to be kneaded enough so that the gluten expands.</p>
