The recipe is done in a bread machine, However, if you’re into bread making at all then you’ll see that this dough is incredibly easy to make with or without a bread machine!
Then we roll and shape it to bunnies, top it with melted butter, and sprinkle it with cinnamon-sugar; resulting in the most delicious cinnamon bunny bread-sticks ever!
This is such a fun activity to do with kiddos. Mine love it and ask to do it every year. Even the teenagers. It’s just a great memory maker :).
How to make Bunny Shaped Rolls
TO SHAPE THE CINNABUNNIES:
- Roll the dough into a long rectangle.
- Then cut 1 x 12 inch strips.
- Holding the strip by the middle, folded in half, twist the two sides around each other twice.
- Then lay flat on a tray and pull the “ears” of the bunny just a bit to make them more pointed and long at their ends.
- Use any leftover dough to roll into little balls and then place in the rounded part as a “tail”.
- Now, brush with butter and then sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar combination.
- Then bake them.
- Finally, when finished with baking; brush and sprinkle them one more time.
