Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups Flour; 1 teaspoon Dry Mustard; 1 pinch Salt; 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper; 1-1/2 teaspoon Yeast; 1/2 teaspoons Honey; 2/3 cups Warm Water; 1/2 cups Grated Cheddar (or Other Favorite) Cheese; 2 Tablespoons Parmesan/Romano Cheese; _____; FOR DECORATING:; 1 whole Egg; Almonds (for Fangs); Raisins (for Eyes)

Servings: persons

2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Dry Mustard
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
1-1/2 teaspoon Yeast
1/2 teaspoons Honey
2/3 cups Warm Water
1/2 cups Grated Cheddar (or Other Favorite) Cheese
2 Tablespoons Parmesan/Romano Cheese
_____
FOR DECORATING:
1 whole Egg
Almonds (for Fangs)
Raisins (for Eyes)

1
Sift together flour, salt, mustard, cayenne. Add yeast and honey into warm water, mix and add to the sifted flour. Work together for about 5 minutes until combined. If it feels flaky and dry in the beginning, don't worry-just work it and it will become springy and workable after a couple of minutes.
2
Gradually add the cheeses. Once incorporated, split the dough into 6 pieces. Form each piece into a bunny, put on a floured baking sheet, cover with a dish towel and let rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Decorate the bunnies using rasins for eyes, almonds for fangs. The bunnies are much cuter without fangs, but if you like vampires or are going to see Banniculla, definitely add the almonds. Brush with egg wash (egg mixed with a little bit of water).
4
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. The underside should sound hollow when tapped. Cool and enjoy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
