The Mandalorian: Please Pass The Bread?
This is the way? One wonders how to butter the bread-born version of The Mandalorian…
File under: Carb-o-nite.
So I’m reading the online magazine Bake — relax, it’s about bread and baking — and it says, “California bakery creates life-sized bread models in celebration of ‘The Mandalorian’.”
The Paindoughlorian
Now I love bread. In fact, I am somewhat famous among my friends for ordering a bowl of bread on a private flight. And I do love my Star Wars.
But these bread formed characters from The Mandalorian might just outstretch my carb-starved appetite.

The Mandalorian, the hit Disney + series that first debuted in 2019, is set to return for its second season later this month. In honor of that occasion, Benicia, California’s One House Bakery baked up some extraordinary models of characters from the show.

Bakers from One House worked on the project for two weeks and 150 total hours before unveiling the life-sized bread sculptures this past weekend…
The “Paindoughlorian” armor is made completely out of bread and the “Baby Dough-da” is floating in mixing bowls and its clothing is made from bread as well. There is also a “Pandroid” that is made out of pans and other kitchen tools.

I mean, at first I was thinking this was just a prank. But it says it here, in the black-and-white, of the East Bay Times.
To connect the pieces, the bakers first had to dress the pain-nequin (get it?) with old clothes, including Pervan’s husband’s pants and her dad’s shoes (unbeknownst to Dad). Then the dough pieces were Dremel-drilled to fit the form again “since they have a mind of their own while being baked in the oven,” Pervan explains.

Then, they were glued on the fabric and wired in place. “Mom used old drop cloth fabric, from when we painted the bakery, to hide all the wire so you couldn’t see the ties,” she says.
Within hours, the “Pain Doughlorian” had racked up 60,000 upvotes in a galaxy far, far away (also known as Reddit). We expect no less from Pervan, who studied at Le Cordon Bleu and worked as part of the bread-making team at The French Laundry in Yountville.
