Easter is around the corner and everyone here are getting ready for the easter celebrations. Its a long weekend for us and am sure its going be bit busy for me as always,if kids are at home.As most of my followers know,i love to be a part of baking events, so that i can learn more about the baking especially when its comes with breads with yeasts. Thank god till now yeast beast will always behave kind with me, coming to this Easter bunnies bread,our this month's Defi Boulange, a fabulous bread baking event by Nadia and Manue challenged us with damn cute and attractive Easter special bunny shaped breads.
I baked some bunnies during last weekend, these bunnies turned out extremely spongy,soft and mildly flavorful coz of the addition of vanilla extract. It was a big hit among my kids,they enjoyed thoroughly with their favourite chocolate drink and i enjoyed with my usual masala chai. An excellent snack,quite filling and the bread dough was super soft as like brioche with mild sweet. Thanks to both Nadia and Manue for pulling me to make this adorable bunnies at home.

Knead the dough well and divide it as 6 large balls.
Divide each balls as small ball,large ball and a medium ball.
Roll the large ball as a rope, while the medium ball as oval shaped ball and small ball as round ball.
Roll the long rope like dough as shown in the picture, cut the oval shape ball in the middle to half of the ball and separate it to make bunny's ears.
Keep the small ball as shown in picture to make the bunny's tail.Arrange the rolled bunnies over a baking tray.

Preheat the oven to 350F for 5minutes.
Mix the egg yolk with milk for brushing together.
Place a chocolate chip on the head of the bunny to make an eye.
Now brush the unbaked bunnies generously.
