Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tsp salt
1 cup whole milk, warm
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Stir well before adding warm milk and melted butter.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Punch down the dough gently; divide it into three parts (one larger for the body and two smaller for ears).
Shape the dough into a bunny on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack before serving.
