Bunny Bread
If you have young helpers around at Easter, have them help make this incredibly easy Bunny Bread!
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Half Sheet Pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 11 ounce container Pillsbury Dinner Roll Style Swirls
- 1/4 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the dinner rolls and set each of the six rolls out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Working with one roll at a time, roll it halfway up into a crescent. Gently stretch the remaining half of the dough out to form two bunny ears. Pinch the end of the dough onto the side of the crescent. Press the bunnies gently down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all of the rolls have been shaped into bunnies.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with butter and then press two raisins into each roll to form the eyes. (Note: You’ll have to tuck the raisins gently between the folds of the rolls to help them stick. If they are just sitting on top of the rolls as they bake, they’ll fall off.)
- Bake the rolls until they are light golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.
- If you have any butter left, you can brush the rolls again when they come out of the oven. Serve warm.
