Chocolate Bunny Bread Serves:  Makes 1 bunny Ingredients: 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 packages Fleischmann's RapidRise Yeast 3/4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup milk 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1 egg 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1/3 cup milk chocolate or peanut butter morsels Decorations (optional): jelly beans, decorating icing and/or carrot Procedure: In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, coca power, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120º to 130 º F). Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg, vanilla and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. With spoon, stir in enough additional flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. For body, knead chocolate morsels into 1 half, form into ball. Place on bottom end of large greased baking sheet; flatten to make 5-inch round. For head, remove 1/3 of remaining half; form into ball. Place on large baking sheet above body; flatten slightly, pinching to attach. For nose, pinch off 1/2-inch ball from remaining dough; lace on center of head. Divide remaining dough into 4 equal portions; roll each to form 6-inch rope. For arms, arrange 2 ropes across body; attach by tucking one end of each under body. Shape remaining ropes into ears; arrange above head. Attach by tucking one end of each under head. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 350º F for 45 to 50 minutes or until done, covering with aluminum foil after 20 minutes to prevent excess Posted by:  DFL924
