DIY panda bread featured on Perfect Pandas is a homemade work of art. This bread is made from a simple bread dough that is divided into three separate batches. One ball of dough is flavored with green tea powder, the other one cocoa powder and the last one is left plain. The cocoa dough and plain dough are layered so that the final product will resemble a panda face. To finish the bread, the green tea dough is wrapped all around the patterned dough. The smell of fresh bread baking in the oven is reason enough to batch this panda bread.
