Dinosaur Bread Stegosaurus

I just thought it'd be fun if I made some dinosaur shaped bread.

It's better if the stegosaurus has a high back otherwise he starts to look like a lizard.
The dough may come apart easily, so make sure to fix it all together securely.
You can try and cut a mouth out if you prefer.
It takes time to get the right shape so try challenging yourself with only 1 or 2 at a time. Recipe by pitachan1

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 60 gramsAny bread dough of your choice that has gone through its first rising
  2. (Example bread dough recipe
  3. 1Decorations for face

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    After the dough has rested, roll out with a rolling pin into a circle shape. Fold over the 4 sides to create a diamond shape and roll again.

  2. 2

    Fold in half into a triangle and press the edges together firmly. Make 4 vertical slits along the bottom edge with a knife.

  3. 3

    Use these slits to cut off a big triangle of dough to create a tail, a smaller triangle at the head and neck and the dough between the stegosaurus' legs.

  4. 4

    Gather the cut off dough into a ball and roll it out. Make an incision that just stops short of the full diameter of the circle. Open the circle outwards and cut out 3 triangles each side for the spikes.

  5. 5

    Open out the cut dough to create the back of the stegosaurus.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a baking tray and let it rise a second time using the oven's bread proofing function. When finished, begin to preheat the oven.

  7. 7

    Whilst the oven is heating up, try adding detail with a decoration pen or nori seaweed. You can find a decoration pen recipe here:.

  8. 8

    Put all your pieces together and bake your stegosaurus in the oven. You can draw on his expression afterwards if you prefer.

  9. 9

    I added matcha into the mix to give my stegosaurus a green color. Have fun coming up with your own ideas!
