Making Your Bunnies
- Mix Your Dough:
- Combine yogurt and flour until smooth. Add flour bit by bit until you get dough that's easy to work with but still soft.
- Create Your Shapes:
- Divide into 6 pieces. Make each into a body with two ears. Roll ear pieces into long pointy shapes.
- Put Them Together:
- Lay them on a buttered baking sheet with gaps between. Stick the ears on at angles and press firmly. Shape them like sleeping bunnies.
I came up with this idea while looking for fun, easy baking projects families could do together. Now we can't imagine Easter without these little guys.
Getting Soft Dough
You want dough that feels smooth and stretchy. Just keep adding tiny bits of flour until it doesn't stick to your fingers but still feels nice and soft.
Baking Them Right
Pop them in a 180°C/360°F oven and wait till they turn golden on top while staying fluffy inside.
Fun Decorating Ideas
Try using edible markers to draw cute faces. Each bunny can look different with its own special expression.
Make-Ahead Trick
You can make these earlier and warm them up before eating. A little butter brushed on top makes them taste fresh-baked.
Expert Advice
- Keep your hands floured when shaping
- Try to make all bunnies about the same size
- Brush with melted butter for a pretty shine
These sweet bunny rolls show how simple ingredients can turn into something really special. They're easy enough for beginners but look like you spent hours in the kitchen - perfect for making your Easter table extra festive.
