Step by step instructions
Below are illustrated step-by-step instructions to make my Easter Bunny Bread Recipe, if you prefer just the written instructions then head straight to the printable recipe card below.
Prep: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius, 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step one: Place yogurt, self-raising flour, and salt in a bowl. Combine well until the dough comes together in a ball. I use a kitchen stand mixer with a dough hook for this step, but a wooden spoon and some elbow grease will work well too!
If your dough is a little too wet add an extra tablespoon of flour.
Step two: On a dry floured surface. Divide the dough into 6 even pieces. (approx 70g each) From each of these 6 pieces you will be making a larger ball (45g ish) and 2 smaller balls (12g ish each). You don't have to use scales, but for the blog and making them even it was an easy way.
Step three: Grease a large ovenproof dish with butter (be generous)
Place the 6 larger balls evenly around the oven dish. These will be the bunny bun faces.
Step four: Roll the smaller balls into short stubby sausages, place them in pairs so that they touch the larger balls (these are the bunny ears)
Step five: Optional: (brush the bunny buns with a little melted butter)
Bake the bunny buns for 20 minutes.
Step six: Optional: Use an edible marker to add eyes and a mouth to your bunny buns!
Enjoy your bunny buns warm!
