Dutch Crunch Bread

I was browsing reddit the other day and saw a picture of some Dutch Crunch Bread that intrigued me. I didn't find much information about it in the comments, so I was wondering. Has anyone made this before? Does it take a lot of special ingredients or any kind of special skill or practice to make? I don't even know what the texture is like on the inside, or what it tastes like; it just looks so good, I might try it sometime!

In the UK we call it Tiger Bread - it's delicious! I love the taste of the topping, and how crunchy it is. Basically it's a white bloomer that is coated with a paste before it is put in the oven to bake. I've never made it myself, but I have this recipe in one of my books:

I like it, but prefer thicker breads. Dutch crunch is good for sandwiches, though.

Haha, Tiger Bread sounds way better to me even than Dutch Crunch Bread! Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to try it sometime.
