These little Easter bunny brioche rolls are almost too cute to eat! 🐰😭This recipe is super simple to make and SO much fun to bake with kids. Let’s hop to it! 🐇👇Brioche dough: • 1 1/2 c. lukewarm water • 1 package (7g) Platinum Yeast • 1 1/2 tbs. kosher salt • 8 large eggs, lightly beaten (room temp) • 1/2 c. honey • 1 1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted • 7 1/2 c. unbleached AP flour Topping • 2 tbs. melted unsalted butter • Granulated sugar for dusting- Make the dough: Mix yeast, salt, eggs, honey, and melted butter in a 5-qt. Bowl. Mix in flour using dough whisk or wooden spoon, until all flour is incorporated. Cover and sit at room temp, let it rise for about two hours. - Dough will be sticky after initial rise, let it chill overnight in refrigerator. (Can be stored up to 5 days.)- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove 2 pounds (907g) of the dough and divide into 16 equal pieces or 2 oz. (57g) pieces. Shape each piece into an oval on a lightly floured surface.- Shape the bunnies with scissors, clipping the dough on top at an angle to make the ears. Make sure they are a bit thick so the ears don’t bake back into the roll and lose shape. Gently pull the ears back, round off the point, and press the ears softly into the dough. (View 3rd slide for video.) - Carefully brush your little bunnies with egg wash on your baking sheet. Use a skewer or toothpick to poke eye holes, use the dull end to make little ear indentations in the middle of each ear. (May take a few times to stay.) - Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 15 minutes, then bake for 13-17 minutes until golden brown.- Let the bunnies cool slightly. Brush your bunnies with melted butter and gently roll in granulated sugar or sprinkle on top.- Enjoy!
