Ingredients
Dough
- ¾ cup So Good unsweetened almond milk
- 60g margarine
- 4 Weet-Bix wheat biscuits, finely crushed
- 1 ¼ cups high grade flour
- 1 cup wholemeal flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 ¼ tsp (1 x 7g packet) instant dry yeast
- 1 egg
Filling
- 25g margarine, melted
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Icing
- ⅓ cup icing sugar
- 1-2 tsp So Good unsweetened almond milk
- 24 fresh blueberries (or raisins)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180˚C and line two oven trays with baking paper.
- Heat milk and margarine in a saucepan or microwave until the margarine has melted.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the crushed Weet-Bix, wholemeal flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Add the warm milk mixture and egg and mix to combine. Knead by hand or use a dough hook in the stand mixer until the dough forms a smooth ball. (Add a little more flour if your dough is sticky). Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and leave to proof in a warm place for 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a large rectangle about ½ cm thick. Use a sharp knife to cut off ⅓ of the dough to create a small and large rectangle. Use a pastry brush to spread the melted margarine over both pieces of dough leaving a 1cm border around the edges of each rectangle. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the margarine.
- Roll the large rectangle of dough into a log and place seam side down. Cut into 12 pieces.
- Cut the small rectangle of dough into 12 strips. Take one roll, lay it flat and use your finger to dab a little water on the seam. Take one of the strips of dough, shape into bunny ears and join the edges to the wet section of the roll. Pinch the joins together and continue with the remaining rolls.
- Transfer to the lined baking trays and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Mix together the ingredients for the icing until smooth and drizzle over the warm rolls. Decorate with blueberries to create eyes on the bunnies.
