Name: Easter bunny rolls from yeasted dough: a cute decoration and a treat in one
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 12
Ingredients: 165 g whole spelt flour (finely ground); 165 g semi-coarse wheat flour; 170 g all-purpose wheat flour; 30 g fresh yeast; 200 ml whole milk; 80 g butter; 30 g powdered cane sugar; 1 sachet of vanilla sugar; 2 egg yolks; 1 egg (for brushing)

Preparation procedure

Preparing the starter: Crumble the yeast into a small bowl, add a teaspoon of sugar and a little warm milk. Sprinkle in a bit of flour, mix and let it rise for 15–20 minutes in a warm place.
Dough preparation: Heat the remaining milk, add the chopped butter and let it melt. In a bowl, mix the flour with the powdered and vanilla sugar. Add the starter, whisk the yolks into the buttery milk and combine everything into a soft dough.
Proofing: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for about 45–60 minutes, until it doubles in volume.
Shaping the bunnies: Divide the dough into 12 pieces. From each, separate a small piece (for the tail) and roll the larger portion into a roll about 30 cm long. Shape it into a "U", place a knot in the bend as the tail and cross the free ends — ears will form.
Baking: Place the bunnies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush with beaten egg and bake at 180 °C for about 25 minutes until golden.
