Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into one large ball for the body, a slightly smaller ball for the head, and smaller pieces to form the ears, legs, and tail of the bunny.
Step 6
Shape and assemble the dough pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper to resemble a bunny, using the larger ball as the body, attaching the head, ears, and tail.
Step 7
Use the black olives as eyes by pressing them gently into the head dough.
Step 8
Cover the shaped dough with a cloth and let it rise again in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Step 9
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 10
Brush the entire bunny bread with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds over the surface.
Step 11
Bake the bunny bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
