"I’ve suggested a turtle shapes, but let your imagination run riot and go to town – it’s great fun for kids too. The Tijgerbrood (‘tiger bread’ or Dutch crunch) topping really adds richness to the buns and gives a beautiful finish. These are delicious with a mug of hot chocolate."
Here's how it's done and what you'll need...
- 45g plain flour
- 60ml water
- 60ml semi-skimmed milk
- 260g strong white bread flour
- 100g caster sugar
- 8g matcha green tea powder
- 6g dry instant yeast
- 4g salt
- 70ml whole milk
- 1tsp vanilla extract

- 25g butter, melted and cooled slightly
For the tijgerbrood topping:
