You're making adorable little yeast dough bunnies that are perfect for sharing with Easter guests. The main time investment goes into letting the dough rise, then you'll shape eight pieces into cute bunnies by rolling strips and crafting tiny tails and ears—a fun activity to do with kids.

Dough
Melt the prepared margarine in a pot. Prepare some lukewarm water. Put all the ingredients, including the melted margarine, into the bowl of a stand mixer and mix into a smooth, non-sticky dough. You can also knead it by hand if you prefer. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place for an hour.

Rolling the strips
Once risen, knead the dough briefly and divide it into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long strip, then snip off a small piece for the tail. Taper the ends of each strip to a point - these will become the bunny's ears.

Tail and ears
Shape each strip into the form of a bunny. Take the small piece set aside for the tail and roll it into a tiny knot, then tuck it into the little hole left for the bunny's tail. You can flatten the ears slightly if you like.
