Welcome to a delightful and fun culinary adventure! Today, we will be making Bunny Bread, a charming recipe that adds a playful touch to any meal. This soft, fluffy bread is perfect for a family gathering, kids’ lunchboxes, or just a special treat for yourself. Let’s hop into the recipe!

Ingredients

To begin our Bunny Bread journey, gather the following ingredients:

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
2 raisins (for the eyes)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your adorable Bunny Bread:

In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Sprinkle the instant yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
Add the egg and salt into the mixture, stirring until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two parts: one larger piece for the bunny body and one smaller piece for the bunny head.
Shape the larger piece into an oval for the body and the smaller piece into a round ball for the head. Attach the head to the body by pinching the dough together.
Using a small piece of dough from the leftovers, shape it into ears and attach them to the head. Use extra dough to form small balls for the paws.
Place the formed bunny on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Before baking, make small indentations for the eyes and place raisins in those spots.
Bake the Bunny Bread for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool before serving!
