Bunny Rolls

  1. Put the milk into a Pyrex measuring cup and microwave the milk on full power for 4 minutes to scald the milk. To this hot liquid, add the butter to melt, the water, sugar and salt. Cool to lukewarm, about 110u0b0F to 115u0b0F. Pour milk mixture into your mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of flour, beat into the warm liquid. Then, add the yeast and another cup of flour. Beat until all ingredients are dissolved and combined.
  2. Slowly add each additional cup of flour alternating with the beaten eggs until all the eggs and flour are added. Using the dough hook helps in adding the rest of the flour. Knead in the mixer if it will hold all of the ingredients or by hand, working in the rest of the flour until dough is smooth and elastic. Turn out onto a floured surface, cover with a dish towel and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
  3. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F.
  4. Punch down the dough, cut into 6 equal sections to be rolled. Roll out the dough to about 12 x 14 inch rectangle. Cut with a pizza cutter into 12 strips and shape into the bunny rolls. Use extra ends for the dough to create the bunny "butts". Use the pizza cutter to shape the ends of the bunny ears.
  5. Cover and place baking trays in a warm place so the rolls will rise. Before baking, brush on to each roll with the egg wash (mix the egg and milk together). This gives each roll a rich shine.
  6. Bake at 325u0b0F for 12 minutes or until done. Let cool on baking racks.
  7. These can be baked and then frozen ahead of the holiday.
  8. Beware: You will freeze a few less than you bake because the family will each consume at least one per person as they come out of the oven.
