Japanese Baker Hides "Surprises" In Loaves Of Bread

Japanese pastry chefs are world-renowned for beautiful, symmetrical and inventive creations that involve a great deal of detail. Tokyo-based bread master and Instagrammer RAN of Konel Bread bakes up loaves that reveal intricate details when sliced.

Can you imagine a sandwich on bread this pretty? The dyes RAN uses are all-natural and vegetable-derived, and the designs are created using ropes of dough layered together to form a pattern within the loaf (like the painstaking technique used to create cane beads or Obama sushi).

Peruse her Instagram feed for flowers, cartoon characters, foods, animals, patterns and other simple, delicious ways to make your day.
