We made a some Easter Bunny bread rolls using this recipe, along with some Hedgehogs & Easter Eggs which Minnie then added to her Bakery!
Ingredients:
500g strong bread flour (we used half white & half wholemeal)
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of sugar
1 tsp of Doves Farm quick yeast
275ml hand hot water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Method:
1. Mix together the flour, salt, sugar & quick yeast
2. Pour in the water & mix the ingredients together to form a rough dough
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface
4. Cut & mould the dough into your desired shape
5. Place on a lightly greased tin/baking sheet
6. Cover with a clean damp cloth & leave to rise somewhere warm for 25mins (we placed our baking trays next to our boiler)
7. Remove cloth & place in a preheated oven for 20-45 mins depending on size of bread. (Our rolls took around 20mins to cook)
Here's how we got on...

| Weighing & exploring the texture of the flour |

| Pouring |
 |
| Mixing our dough |
 |
| Sticky fingers! |
 |
| Kneading the dough |
 |
| Exploring the properties of the dough |
 |
| Discovering its elasticity |

| Making Easter Bunny bread using our rabbit cookie cutter |
 |
| Our Easter Bunny with raisins added for eyes |
Once our bread had been cooked & cooled I had intended to take a photo of all our creations together... but Minnie had other ideas. The bread went straight into her Baker's Shop ready to sell to her customers, & ready for 'Minnie the Baker' to (ahem) sample! I did manage to snap a couple of pics before the bread disappeared.

| Mmmmmm! |

| The raisin eyes & noses were just too tempting! |

We will definitely be making this bread again.
Our Easter bunny bread will go really well with our eggs for our Easter Day breakfast!

Oh my! This sounds and looks so delicious. If I felt better I would definitely be inspired to bake bread today! I love having children in the kitchen. There is so much to learn. What precious pictures of Minnie and her little hands.
