Easter Bunny Brioche
After our tour of Europe with Easter brioche for adults, here’s a recipe that will delight kids…
(and adults too).
This is a fun recipe to make with your children—they’ll love shaping these little Easter bunnies!
I’m sharing two different shapes; pick your favorite, or do both like I did if you can’t decide. Version #1 looks like a real bunny, and Version #2 is more symbolic.

Dissolve the yeast in the warm milk.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, or in a large mixing bowl, add the flour, then the salt and sugar. Mix together.
Pour in the milk with yeast and add the eggs. Knead again. When the dough is no longer liquid, add the butter cut into pieces.
Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place or in a yogurt maker, or in a preheated then turned-off oven, for about 1 hour 30 minutes until doubled in size.
