Don't get bored with bread

Since the first day of school,I have to prepare lunch for the kids everyday.Now they are bored with the sandwiches that I prepared.So I have to seek for new idea to make the sandwiches more interesting.To make the sandwiches look appetizing I add the cocoa powder into the bread.I love to bake anything that add with coloring.So if you like to make the bread more colorful just add some food coloring into the bread dough.
This is the recipe of the day.

I actually like brown bread more. I just think it has more taste. You know what they say, once you go brown you can't go white anymore! Hehehe

Hi Sahm...

Lovely looking bread there. You know what else you can do with the bread to make it look more interesting? You can also play around with the two colored dough, arrange it to form a Panda face. Add two raisins for the eyes! I am just clever at suggesting though. I've tried baking it once, but my panda looks like a handicapped panda! Hahahaha......
