In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, bread flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Add olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the Dutch crunch topping. In a medium bowl, mix rice flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Add olive oil and warm water to the dry topping ingredients, and stir to form a thick paste. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing them a few inches apart.
Spread a thick layer of the topping paste on each dough ball, ensuring it covers the entire surface for best results.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) while the coated dough balls rise again for about 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crackled.
Allow the Dutch crunch bread to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
