Iced Baked Bunnies

Day 40 - Iced Baked Bunnies

Well, here we are - Day 40, my last project.  I've decided to bake again and today I'm making iced baked bunnies.  The baked bunnies are really just bread and I'm cheating a little by using a 'simply add water' bread mix.

I've made the mix as recommended on the packet and definitely added the optional butter. Having kneaded the bread for a full ten minutes I've first torn off balls of dough and rolled them out into long thin sausage shapes.  I'm really not sure how large the bunnies will end up being so I've made a mixture of sizes.

I've then made a twist in the middle of the dough leaving a hole in the middle. This is the bunny body.

I've made a second twist above the first but this time left no hole - this will be the bunny head and ears.

Lastly I've filled the hole with a small ball of dough to be the bunny tail.

Currently I've left the bunnies on baking trays, covered with clean tea towels, to rise before I can cook them.  I'll be putting them in the oven in about an hour.

In fact they did rise quite a bit!


Now they're out of the oven, I've left them to cool before glazing them with a little icing. Another tasty treat!

Some look like bunnies more than others!
