Steps
- 1
Cut a fourth off of 1 loaf of bread dough. Shape it into a pear shape for the head.
- 2
Flatten the remaining of that loaf into a 6 inch x 7 inch oval.
- 3
Place the head on a greased flat cookie sheet. Then place the body under the head. Gently pinch dough at seams and smooth dough.(Don't use a rimmed cookie sheet because you will need to gently slide it off then onto a serving platter)
- 4
With a sharp knife make 2 narrow cuts in the head, about 3/4 inches deep to make the whiskers.
- 5
Cut your 2nd loaf into 4 equal portions..
- 6
Make the ears by forming 2 of those portions into 16 inch ropes. Fold each one in half and place the open ends on top of the head. Again gently pinch seams together and smooth dough.
- 7
Now take the third portion and cut in half. Shape each into a 3 1/2 inch oval to form the back paws. Cut two 1 inch sits on top edges for the toes. Position these two paws on lower part of body on each side. (Pinch seams and smooth)
- 8
With the last portion of dough cut this into 3 pieces. Shape 2 pieces into two 1/2" balls. Place them on each side of the top part of the body for the front paws. Cut two 1 inch slices for toes. (Pinch seams and smooth)
- 9
With the rest of the dough you will make 2 cheeks by forming 1 inch balls. Then a 1/2 inch ball for the nose. Place those on the head between the whiskers.
- 10
Add the raisins or craisins for eyes and the almonds for the teeth.
- 11
Brush dough with egg.
- 12
Cover bunny with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size. (30-60min or until doubled)
- 13
Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove towel and bake for 25-30 min or until golden brown.
- 14
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- 15
Slide bunny bread on a lettuce lined serving platter. Cut a hole in the tummy to fit your serving bowl. Place bowl in tummy hole and fill with your favorite dip.
