‘Froggy Bread’ Is the Latest Baking Trend (but What the Heck Is It?)

Now that everyone is a baking enthusiast, we can hardly keep up with the viral treat du jour. Yesterday it was pancake cereal, but apparently now it’s something called froggy bread, which is a lot less mystifying than it sounds.

You see, froggy bread is just bread…shaped like a frog. It’s not a special flavor, it’s just any bread that looks amphibious and it’s so popular that #froggybread currently has 2.1 million views on TikTok. Vice speculates that the trend took off due to the popularity of frog memes (yes, there’s a whole section of the internet dedicated to frog memes), but we have a feeling people are just bored. Behold:

Since shaping dough into a simple loaf and shaping dough into a four-legged creature are light years apart, everyone’s froggy bread turns out a little different, and that’s kind of the best part. After all, this is about curing boredom and, as Twitter user @tikatikacosplay put it, serotonin.
