I needed a quick recipe for our spring dinner party, so when I saw this bunny idea I thought it would be a fun dinner roll.  You can link over to our  Garlic or Cinnamon Breadsticks  Recipe which would be homemade and yummy alternative.

Note:  The below bread bunnies are best when eaten warm.

*
Cinnamon-Sugar Bunnies

*1 can refrigerated Pillsbury Italian Bread Dough

*1/4 cup melted Butter

*1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar

*1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

Mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

*
Garlic Parmesan or Ranch Bread Bunnies

*1 can refrigerated  Pillsbury Italian Bread Dough

*1/4 cup melted Butter

*Parsley Garlic Salt, sprinkled on bunnies

*1 tablespoon freshly chopped Parsley, for bunny tail

*Parmesan Cheese, grated

*
Directions:

Pre-heat oven 350*F.

Roll out the canned dough on a cutting board, using a rolling-pin roll out dough into a bigger rectangular shape.

Use a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 1 inch strips and then cut 2 of the strips into about 2 inch pieces for the bunny tails.

On a Silpat covered 1/2 baking sheet, pick up each strip 1 at a time and bend in half leaving a loop at the bent end.  Then twist the ends twice making into ears that poke straight up and then bend them as desired, making a bunny shapes.

Brush each bunny with melted butter.

Sprinkle each bunny with Ranch topping or garlic Parmesan topping or Cinnamon-sugar topping

Then take the 2 inch pieces of dough and roll into balls.  Roll the balls in butter and dip them in cinnamon-sugar or Colorful sugar crystals for the sweet bunnies and fresh chopped parsley for the savory bunnies .  Place each dough tail in the loops of the bunnies.

Bake the bunnies for 15-20 minutes.

Enjoy!
