The bread Dutch Crunch is generally made with sesame oil, which gives it a distinct aroma, and with a pattern baked into the top made by painting rice paste onto the surface prior to baking. The paste dries and cracks during the baking process. The rice paste crust also gives the bread a distinctive flavour. It has a crusty exterior, but is soft inside. Eating practically anything on a few slices of Dutch Crunch bread is amazing. Bakeries all over the city take pride in their loaves and slices.

荷兰脆面包通常是用芝麻油烹饪而成的，这使它有一种独特的香味。在烘焙之前，烘焙师会在面包表面用大米糊画一个图案，然后再烘焙。这种糊状物在烘焙过程中会干燥并开裂。这种米糊外皮也使面包有了一种独特的味道。其表皮偏硬，但内里很软。在荷兰脆面包片上几乎可以放各种美食，真是太棒了。全市的面包店都以其店里的面包和面包片为荣。
