Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bunny Bread
  1. Begin by thawing one loaf of frozen bread dough according to package instructions. Once softened, cut off a quarter of the dough to shape into a pear for the bunny's head. Flatten the remaining dough into a 7x6-inch oval for the body, and place it on a greased baking sheet.
  2. Using a sharp knife, create narrow cuts on each side of the head to form whiskers. For the ears, roll out two small ropes from the second loaf of dough and attach them to the top of the head.
  3. Take the remaining dough from the second loaf to form the bunny’s paws. Cut portions into ovals for the back paws and shape smaller balls for the front paws, cheeks, and the cute little nose. Position these features onto the main body.
  4. Position all the shaped features onto the main body, carefully adding raisins for the eyes and sliced almonds for the teeth.
  5. Cover your assembled Bunny Bread with a clean kitchen towel and place it in a warm, draft-free area to rise for approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, brush the entire bunny with a lightly beaten egg. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. After baking, allow your Bunny Bread to cool on a wire rack. Hollow out a section in the center for a small bowl for your chosen dip.
