Don't let this Monster bread fool you, it may look delicious, but it is filled with nutrient-rich, fiendish ideas.

The picture inside of the bread is the face of Frankenstein. It may be a little Mr. T-ish with the black mohawk going on, but it is definitely the corpse-stitched monster in the flesh. The way to get the desired affect with this loaf of [Halloween-themed Monster Bread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-approved-candies) is to arrange your dough rolls before you bake it. Food coloring is used to dye the unbleached all-purpose flour while you are blending everything together. Afterwards, coat the color pieces with a mixture of brown dough and then, put it in the oven for 30 minutes.

Before you know it, you'll have a freakishly tasty loaf of bread for your [October 31st meal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tous-les-jours-spooky-delights).
