Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Separate the dough into individual triangular pieces along the perforated lines.
- To create bunny shapes, stretch each triangle slightly to elongate it. For the bunny ears, cut two thin strips from the wider end of the triangle, leaving the center portion intact for the bunny's body.
- Gently twist and shape the two ear strips to create long, slightly curved bunny ears. Position the ears at the top of the triangular dough.
- Roll the remaining dough from the bottom point upward to create the bunny's body, ensuring the ears remain attached.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg to create an egg wash. Carefully brush each bunny-shaped roll with the egg wash, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and poppy seeds over the rolls for decoration and added texture. Lightly sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top for enhanced flavor.
- Place the bunny-shaped rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each roll to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and have a slightly crisp exterior.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy your adorable bunny-shaped crescent dinner rolls!
Tips
- • Use cold dough for easier shaping and cleaner cut lines • Flour your work surface lightly to prevent sticking • Work quickly and gently when forming bunny shapes to maintain dough integrity • For extra golden color, use a pastry brush to apply egg wash evenly • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each bunny room to "hop" and expand • If ears start to separate during baking, gently press them back with a spatula • Let rolls cool slightly before serving to maintain their crisp texture • For variations, try different seed toppings or a light herb sprinkle • Use kitchen scissors for precise ear-cutting if you want more defined shapes
