But, do you know how these breads are made? How could there be an adorable design inside a loaf of bread? Don’t miss the explanation below!

These cute breads are made with some separate rolls of coloured dough. Then, these long, rounded pieces of dough are positioned within larger chunks that will form the outer loaf. Since they will puff up into larger shapes as the bread bakes, the baker needs to plan ahead for the way the dough expands so that the result will be as good as planned.
