Ingredients

Servings: 7
  • 250 ml + 2 tablespoons of milk
  • 1 cube (42 g) Yeast
  • 450 g Flour
  • 75 g Sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 100 g Butter
  • 1 egg (size M)
  • 10 Raisins
  • 1 Egg yolk (size M)
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Warm 100 ml of milk lukewarm. Crumble yeast into it and dissolve. Mix flour, sugar and vanillin sugar in a bowl and make a depression in the middle. Pour yeast milk into the hollow and mix with some flour from the rim. Cover with flour and leave to rise for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add 150 ml milk, salt, butter and egg and knead to a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. Form the dough into a strand on a floured work surface and divide into 7 pieces of approx. 80 g each and 7 pieces of approx. 40 g each. Shape each piece of dough into a cone shape. Cut approx. 2/3 at the narrow ends and place 1 large (body) and 1 small piece (head) inside each other to form a hare. Cut the raisins into small pieces and press them firmly together as eyes and nose. Place the rabbits on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. Mix the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of milk and brush the rabbits with it. Bake the trays one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for about 15 minutes.
