Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Instant dry yeast
- Lukewarm water
- Vegetable oil
- Egg (for egg wash)
- Butter (for brushing after baking)
- Coarse sea salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
2. Shape the Bunnies:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a bunny shape, ensuring the ears overlap slightly. Press down on the overlapping ears to prevent them from rising too much during baking.
- Form a small ball of dough for the tail and attach it to the body of each bunny.
3. Bake the Breadsticks:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush each bunny with an egg wash (beaten egg) and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Place the bunnies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Serve:
- Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a brush of butter on top.
Notes
- Sweet Option: Replace the salt on the tails with a sprinkling of sugar for a sweet twist.
- Add Herbs: Mix in fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough for a savory flavor.
