Method
Melt the butter in a pan or microwave. Set apart.
Combine warm milk (body temperature), yeast, sugar, and the melted butter into a mixing bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile combine the sieved flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Then add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon then knead until form a smooth and elastic dough.
Form the dough into a ball, transfer it in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Leave to prove in a warm place until double in size (approximately 1 hour - the amount of time it takes will depend on the ambient temperature).
Take the dough and split into 15-16 equal pieces (approximately 60g each). Roll each piece into a small ball and, handling them gently, form the balls into more oval shapes to make the bunny's body. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cut the ears with a scissors (see video for more details) Make sure you smooth the edges around, so you do not end up with devil horns (like most of mine 😂). Then use a toothpick to make the bunny’s eyes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Combine the maple syrup and 1 tbsp of hot water in a small bowl for the glaze and gently brush the bunnies with a very thin layer of maple syrup onto the bread so it will yield a beautiful golden brown color after baking. (If you don’t want to use maple syrup you can brush them with milk).
Bake for about 15-25 (until golden brown on top).
Remove the bunnies from the oven and transfer them to a rack to cool.
Enjoy!
