These cute little bunny buns are a scaled down version of the large traditional Easter bread wreaths.

The recipe I used for the Easter bread is here:
delayedreactionlounge.blogspot...
The idea for making the bunny shapes was found in a Woman's World magazine.
2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (this is the total amount, it will be added gradually)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 quarter ounce (7g) package active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 tsp)
2/3 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
You will need 9 eggs in total divided as follows
-2 eggs (for the bread dough recipe)
-6 eggs in the shell, raw and dyed if desire (to bake on the bunny buns)
-1 egg beaten (for bread "glue" and for brushing on buns prior to baking)
Put the milk and butter into a small container and microwave until the milk is very warm and the butter has started to melt.
In a large bowl, stir together the yeast, sugar, salt and ONE cup of the flour.
Add the milk and butter to the flour mixture; stirring until it it nice and smooth. Add two eggs and beat well. Add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time stirring after each addition. When the dough begins to clump together and "chase" the spoon around the bowl, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
Add small amounts of flour to the counter as you knead the dough, you may or may not use all of the 2 3/4 cups of flour. Keep adding small amounts until it is not longer sticking to your hands or counter.
Pour a little bit of oil in the bottom of the large bowl and rub it around to grease the bottom and sides, put the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours depending on the temperature of the room. I put mine in the oven with the light on.
After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and punch it down.
Roll the dough into 14" rope, cut into 6 pieces. Each piece will make a bunny.
For each of the six pieces proceed as follows:
Roll one of the six pieces into a 10" rope.
Cut off 3" for the bunny head and ears
Cut off 1/2" piece for bunny tail
Roll remaining piece (now 6 1/2 inches long) until it measures 8" long. Shape this piece into a circle "glueing" the ends together with a bit of the beaten egg. Pinch together if necessary. Place the circle on a greased baking sheet (or covered with silicone mat or parchment).
Shape the 3" piece into head and ear and attach to circle (using beaten egg as glue if required)
Shape the 1/2 " piece into a ball (using beaten egg as glue if required) and attach it to circle as a tail.
Place bunnies at least 4 inches apart on baking sheet.
Cover with damp towel and let rise for about an hour until almost doubled in size.
Using the end of a spoon or chopstick poke small hole where the eye should be.
Brush each bunny all over with the beaten egg and gently snuggle the dyed raw eggs in the center of each bunny body.
Bake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown all over.
Let cool a bit and using honey, insert a jelly bean into the hole made for the eye and attach coconut to the tail. These can be served still warm out of the oven or cold.
Because of the eggs in these, they will have to be refrigerated if not eaten right away.
*NOTE** I mention in the video that the eggs were cooked. I just noticed today that the one egg in the braided "nest" that I made in the video, was very runny inside and not cooked enough. I'm guessing this is because it was surrounded by more bread that insulated the egg from the oven's heat. All the eggs on the bunnies were completely cooked. Just make sure the egg is sitting on top of the bunny and only pushed in slightly.

watching this was nostalgic! this bunny bread turned out so gorgeous.

[@imweirdsowat]

I've spent literally the last 4 hours watching your videos. I love them!

[@silentsaturn91]

You know yoyomax12, About 4 years ago when I was in grade 12, my baking teacher very thoroughly drove my love for baking right out of me. She was very strict and made baking class a living hell. Watching your videos has actually brought back my love of baking :D Thank you for helping me get that back! My tummy as well as the rest of me thank you for it :D

[@bonnadowns524]

So awesome ideas Easter Bunny’s recipes 👌❤️🙏🐇💕 Thanks you for sharing with us🥰🐇

[@markmckee9322]

I wanted to make these once I saw this video.We made these yesterday and brought them to my aunts house for easter. they turned out so cute and yummy. thanks yoyomax12. : )

[@wildheart5]

These bunnies are adorable! The bread mix is so tender and I love the egg coating. Egg always makes it look so tempting. I bet it makes a delicious breakfast!

[@Furbyboom109]

These turned out to be very delicious! They taste a little bit like pretzel rolls. I made an extra batch that I made into a braided wreath (without eggs) and after it was baked, I brushed the top with butter and then drizzled on honey and topped with flaked coconut. It's to die for! I have one more match rising.. gonna make them into cinnamon sugar pretzels

[@forthefirsttime1]

"The dough will start to chase the spoon around the bowl." I love you, yoyomax12.

[@Msari222]

Laura in the kitchen made something similar to this not too long ago but it was a big bun. But i like this idea even more since you've shaped them into bunnies.

[@AussieAngeS]

I love these they're so cute. Fantastic! Thanks Tammy

[@cattajk]

Oh dear... I've got the "turn it, fold it, squish it"-rythm on my mind now...I'm looking forward to try this!

[@meg3ravr]

I love your videos and your great at baking.I am a baker as well but not as good as you I love learning from you.

[@carnivorouscat]

[@alexisruiz2456]

You go sky-diving with it, you eat it silly! :D

[@Cyborcat]

Videos like this almost make me regret cutting bread out of my diet--you can do some pretty cool things with it, I can't believe how cute these are ^.^

[@Eeveefan100]

[@kionsakhitab5673]

This might be my fave video of yours

[@gymnasticsgirl245]

My grandma makes this but she doesnt make it into a bunny, she kinda braids the bread and puts the egg on the inside! Its soooo good i love it sooooo much i recommend this

[@PKZOreoLover]

I'm half Portuguese and in the Portuguese culture they have a Easter sweet bread with the egg in it. And you give it out as a gift to bring luck... I think I will be doing this for ,my Easter dinner ... Most likely going to give my grandmother a heart attack cause of the switch but there too cute not to make

[@kittycatz12345234]

I love your videos!! They give me great ideas and are really easy to follow :)

[@duartenalves]

This is a very common and traditional bread in Portugal. It's called "Folar". It's very close to the big one you made with the braids and it usually takes a couple of eggs in it. I really love it it's sweet and fluffy and I love to eat the egg with the bread it goes really well.

[@abbyhere24]

Turn, fold,Squish, I will remember this forever, when ever I need need to kneed bread :-)

[@amyeleanor8156]

So good!!

[@ellahippyhoppy]

Super cute!! I dont have jelly beans here, but I'd just use a raisin :) I think I'll make this for me and my room mate!! :)

[@ladytsheej]

I'm going to be making this soon! gah...can't wait to go home and bake :)

[@Julsinmaine101]

Nice job! good idea to do with my grandsons:)

[@rewbon5432]

Awwww so cute!

[@fireboltin]

Love it! They look so cute and tasty! How long did it take you in total for prep + baking? I'm trying to figure out my game plan for Easter Sunday.

[@jaylynmeyer]

That is SO Cool!

[@mackenize20099]

my mom made this and she put salt on it to make it like a preztel it was awesome thank u :)

[@heyyitskaylie]

I really like how you make the bunny.

[@yoyomax12]

You are exactly right. Info in description box :)

[@StormxCloud9]

awesome i even saw cakeboss do something like this :)

[@MealsMadeAtHome]

looks like a bunny pretzel. YUM!

[@yoyomax12]

yes you can, or reduce it to a couple of tablespoons

[@day7dreamer]

EVERYONE THUMBS UP IT NAKES HER SMILE!!!!!! :)

[@imthedramageek]

Awesome!

[@CaptainLokii]

amazing!

[@yoyomax12]

No, you can't let it rise too much. The yeast will die and you won't be able to get a second rising.

[@yoyomax12]

1 cup is the volume that 250ml of water takes up, the weight will depend on what you are measuring, a cup of chocolate chips will have a different weight than a cup of milk. There are many conversion charts out there, you just need to look

[@doggie2112]

this is so cute! =}

[@mushcake56]

So cute :)

[@FroggieToast]

I watch these even though I don't make them :)

[@ramascanuadrian]

you are soooo good!

[@yoyomax12]

We have several sizes to choose from at our store, small medium large and extra large (often called 747) The difference between small and extra large is quite significant
