Ingredients

25 g yeast
250 ml lukewarm milk
100 ml liquid margarine
100 ml Dansukker Granulated Sugar
2 tsp Dansukker Vanilla Sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
5-600 g plain flour

Glaze and decoration
1 egg
raisins
hazelnut kernels
Dansukker Icing Sugar

Instructions

Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Add the milk and margarine and stir until the yeast dissolves. Mix in the sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Add the lightly beaten eggs. Work in the flour gradually until the dough no longer clings to the sides of the bowl. Cover with a tea towel and leave to rise for 20-30 minutes.

Put the dough on a floured worktop and knead until smooth. Split the dough into two equal parts. Divide one part into 20 slightly larger and 20 slightly smaller pieces and shape them into bunny heads and bodies. Divide the remaining dough into equal pieces and shape them into ears, front legs and hind legs. Assemble the bunnies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the bunnies with lightly beaten egg. Make eyes out of raisins and noses out of hazelnuts. Leave to rise for 20 minutes in a draught-free place. Bake in the centre of the oven at 200°C for about 15 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack covered with a tea towel. Dust the bunnies with icing sugar just before serving.

You can also make the dough into a single large bunny to be served in slices, or make plain round rolls.
