Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC.
- Add the flour, lemon zest, spices and raisins (if using) into a bowl and stir well.
- Add the yogurt and maple syrup and stir well until it comes together into a dough. If the mixture is too wet you can add a little extra flour, alternatively if it is too dry add more yogurt 1 tbsp at a time.
- Empty onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead. Divide the dough ball into 8 equal parts.
- To make the bunny, take a part of the dough, cut away two small pieces for the ears, and then roll the remaining dough into a ball for the bunny’s face. Shape the remaining pieces into ears and add to the dough balls. I stuck on with a little egg.
- Brush bread rolls with a little egg wash then bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool fully, then add eyes and mouth with a little melted dark chocolate.
