Instructions

  1. Yeast dough:
  2. Mix the meal, flour and yeast in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and knead everything with a hand mixer (kneading stick) briefly on the lowest, then on the highest level to form a dough. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it has visibly enlarged. Preheat the oven to 220 ° C.
  3. Knead the dough briefly again on a lightly floured work surface and flatten it into a circle. Cut the circle into 8 pieces of cake.
  4. Cut off the tip of each piece and shape it into small balls (rabbit tails). Remove about 1/3 of each remaining piece and form rabbit heads. Cut into the pointed end so that 2 ears are created. Shape the remaining pieces of dough into rolls (about 25 cm). Roll these up like a snail and place on the baking sheet. Put on the head and the tail. Brush the rabbits with a little water and sprinkle with pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and / or poppy seeds.
  5. Let the rabbits go again until they have visibly enlarged.
  6. Then put the tray in the oven at medium height for 10 minutes at 220 ° C.
  7. After 10 minutes, reduce the temperature to 200 ° C.
  8. Let the rolls cool down with the baking paper.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
