Steps to make

  1. 1

    Make dough

    2 min
    Step 1 - Easter Bunny Rolls

    Place 1 cup of warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached. Add 2 ½ teaspoons of yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, ¼ cup of vegetable oil and 3 cups of flour.

  2. 2

    Mix the dough

    10 min
    Step 2 - Easter Bunny Rolls

    Knead the dough on low-medium speed until a smooth dough forms. When the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl, it's ready.

  3. 3

    Prove the dough

    60 min
    Step 3 - Easter Bunny RollsStep 3 - Easter Bunny Rolls

    Transfer the dough to a large greased bowl. Roll the dough around in the bowl to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it in a warm area to rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Divide dough into 6 pieces

    3 min
    Step 4 - Easter Bunny Rolls

    Knock the dough back to release any air bubbles. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 6 equal pieces.

  5. 5

    Heat the oven and prepare a baking sheet

    5 min
    Step 5 - Easter Bunny Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Shape the bunnies

    10 min
    Step 6 - Easter Bunny Rolls

    Take each dough ball and roll it into a rope shape about 14 inches long. Cut a ½ inch piece off the end, and roll this into a small ball for the tail. Fold each rope in half, and twist it twice, loosely to make the body of the bunny.

  7. 7

    Place bunnies on baking sheet

    2 min
    Step 7 - Easter Bunny Rolls

    Place each bunny roll on the baking sheet. Press the overlapping ear down to prevent it from rising too high. Press the little dough ball into the folded end of the twist to make the tail.

  8. 8

    Leave to rise

    10 min

    Leave the bunnies in a warm place for 5-10 minutes to rise.

  9. 9
