    List of Ingredients




    Makes 1 loaf

    3/4 cup water, warmed
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 package active dry yeast
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon butter or margarine -- melted
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    Dutch Crunch Topping:
    2 teaspoons sugar
    2 packages active dry yeast
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    6 tablespoons white rice flour
    1 teaspoon salad oil
    1/3 cup water -- warm

    Combine warm water and sugar in a bowl. Add yeast and stir briefly; let stand until bubbly (about 10 minutes). Add salt and butter.

    Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the flour. To knead with a dough hook, add 1/2 cup more flour and beat on high speed until dough is springy and pulls away from sides of bowl (about 8 minutes), adding more flour, a few tablespoons at a time, if dough is sticky.

    Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled (45 to 60 minutes). Meanwhile, prepare Dutch Crunch Topping.

    Punch dough down and knead briefly on a lightly floured board to release air. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 4-by 8-inch loaf pan. Spread topping over dough. Let stand, uncovered, in a warm place until puffy (20 to 25 minutes).

    Bake in a 375 degrees F oven until deep golden brown (50 to 60 minutes). Turn loaf out onto a rack and let cool.

    Dutch Crunch Topping

    In a large bowl stir together all the ingredients and cover and let rise in a warm place until double (35 to 40 minutes ). Stir well. If made ahead, cover and let stand for up to 15 minutes; stir before using.
