Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 loaves (16 oz each) Frozen bread dough
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 cups Dipping sauce of choice (e.g., spinach-artichoke dip, ranch dip, etc.)
- 1 assorted as desired Optional vegetable garnish (e.g., sliced carrots for whiskers, parsley for greenery)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the frozen bread dough according to the package instructions until it’s pliable. Lightly dust your work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
Use one loaf of dough to form the bunny’s body: Roll it into an oval shape about 8 inches long and place it on the baking sheet.
From the second loaf of dough, pinch off a piece about the size of a golf ball to form the head. Place it just above the body, gently pressing it to join the two pieces together.
Shape two long oval ears using more dough from the second loaf. Attach the ears to the top of the bunny’s head, pressing gently to secure.
Use small pieces of dough to form the bunny’s paws, cheeks, and a ball for the tail. Stick them in place, pressing gently to adhere.
Using a knife or scissors, cut small slits in the dough to form eyes and a nose, or leave them smooth and add decorative features after baking.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash. Brush the entire bunny with the egg wash for a golden, shiny crust.
Bake the bunny bread in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking for even browning.
Once baked, allow the bread to cool completely. Then, use a sharp knife to cut a circular opening in the bunny’s tummy, hollowing out the bread to form a cavity for the dip. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the bread.
Fill the cavity with your choice of dipping sauce, such as spinach-artichoke dip or ranch dip.
For a fun finishing touch, garnish the bunny with optional vegetable accents, such as carrot slices for whiskers or parsley sprigs for greenery.
Serve the bunny bread with its hollowed-out pieces and additional bread, crackers, or veggies for dipping.
