Spring has finally sprung and I'm in the mood for Easter baking!! These cute Easter bunnies will be the topic of your Easter dinner and they are so easy to make!
My favorite Dinner Roll recipe is the very first bread recipe I have ever made and continue to make over the years. Thanksgiving? Funeral? Birthday dinner? Gotta have homemade rolls. Dinner with your sweetheart? Then try these Puffy Heart shaped dinner rolls.
You really don't need a special occasion for these rolls, but I hope you make these for your Easter dinner.
Here's how!
I weigh each piece of dough on a digital scale to 1.5 ounces. If you don't have a scale, just make the dinner roll recipe and divide the entire batch into 24 pieces.
Pinch off a small piece of dough...
and roll it into a ball. These are the tails for your bunnies!
Roll each piece on a lightly greased counter into a 12"- 14" rope. I do four at a time to let the dough rest for easier shaping.
Bring both ends of the rope and give it a single twist, leaving a hole open at the bottom. Make sure you spread the "ears" out a little, as they will "puff" and enlarge.
Place the tail into the hole and press gently. No need to "glue" it on.
Here's a whole sheet of bunnies ready for the oven!
Bake for 12 minutes and ta-da! You will soon have a basketful of bunnies!
Hoppy Easter, everyone!
These are too cute! Love the tails.

ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at how adorable and cute these are! My kids would love these. I'm passing some awards on to you because you do such a great job! See http://homestyleworldcook.blogspot.com/2011/04/more-awards.html for details.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. I bet they taste as good as they look. Thanks for the friendship request on Tasty Kitchen.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! My mother used to make something like this, but with an egg where the tail would go. We called them "Egg Ladies".
ReplyDeleteOh for Pete's sake Frieda....these are the cutest things I've seen in a long time. I'm so impressed!
ReplyDeleteI love working with yeast dough! Your bunnies are super cute! Love love love your blog! Looking forward to many mnay yummy posts! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I love the tails! SO cute...
ReplyDeleteI wish I wasn't such a bad bread-maker!
Adorable! This will crack my kids up! I have to make these. :)
ReplyDeleteFrieda! These are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering... I'm looking for a slider bun recipe and thought of you. You do such a great job with bread. Do you know anything about slider buns? I tried a my regular bun recipe, but they turned out dry and the crust was hard... like a baguette.
Any advice?

I love these! What a great idea to dress up the Easter meal just a bit! I will definitely try these next weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow...those are so cute...you are very creative, I have never seen such a cute idea for bread!
ReplyDeleteGreat Site by the way!
I shall add it to my favourites,
Regards!
These rolls are simply adorable, my son would love them for Easter!
ReplyDeleteThese are just the cutest things EVER! I love them. Adorable. You're going to have to make some for my family Easter dinner though, because I'm pretty sure I could never make them. My bunnies would look more like roadkill I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteThese are very sweet and a fantastic idea for the Easter table. However, we are not so polite here in Australia and I suspect they would vey quickly be christened "bunny bums"!
ReplyDeleteHey Frieda. I received your email about becoming a friend on Tasty Kitchen. I don't really know how to do that :-) so I came to your blog to follow you!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great weekend!
what a very cute idea. I think this could become a good tradition.
ReplyDeleteCute :)
ReplyDeletePerfect! I have been wanting Easter rolls and here they are!!!
ReplyDeleteso cute to go with my folded bunny napkins! :D
I was thinking about making rolls for Easter dinner, I think the kids will love these! Very cute! I do not get to bake/cook "cute" stuff very often :) Thanks for sharing and stopping by at my site as well! Looking forward to following you!
ReplyDeleteThis may just get me trying rolls. So cute going to try with my kids.
ReplyDeleteSo very creative! Those make me wish I had little kids still!
ReplyDeleteI made these over the weekend. So glad you posted. My kids are really enjoying them and giggle every time they eat them!
ReplyDeleteHi Frieda, I love bread too, I can almost smell these. My girls would love these cute rolls. So much good stuff over here, I can't wait to come back. Hope you have a great week.
