How it's done

Pastry dough

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Add the butter and milk, mix, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

To shape

Set aside 50 g of the dough. Divide the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface into 8 equal portions, flatten slightly, shape into ovals and arrange as a wreath on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bunnies

Shape the reserved dough into 8 small balls and attach them as little tails to the ovals using a bit of water. Glaze the wreath with egg. Using scissors, cut each oval so that ears are formed. Press sultanas into the dough for eyes.

To bake

Approx. 25 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, leave the bunny wreath to cool completely on a rack.
