2 Ingredient Easter Bunny Cheese Bread
This bread recipe is as easy as it gets: all you need is 2 ingredients and about 30 minutes. The star of the show is Castello’s new creamy Havarti which is so incredibly delicious.
Equipment
- mini easter-themed cookie cutter
Ingredients
- neutral oil
- 200 grams Castello’s Creamy Havarti Cheese
- 2 packages Pillsbury Croissant (crescent) Rolls (8 ounces or 225 grams each)
- sesame seeds (optional)
- your favorite hard cheese, for presentation
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Add a touch of oil to your clean countertop so that the dough doesn’t stick.
- Unroll the dough from the Pillsbury packs and connect all the pieces together by gently pinching all the sides to form one large rectangle.
- Cut five lines lengthwise and six lines horizontally. You should have 30 small squares of dough. Place a small piece of creamy Havarti cheese into each square. Take each square and pinch it together so that the cheese is sealed and roll the stuffed dough into a ball.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the cheese-stuffed balls into the shape of a rabbit head. You will need 14 dough balls to make a circular face and 8 dough balls for each ear. Sprinkle some sesame seeds onto the ears for decoration, if desired.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Let cool.
- If you'd like, using an Easter-themed cookie cutter, cut some hard cheese into shapes. Once the bread is cool, transfer it to a serving platter. Decorate the plate with the cut-out cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe can easily be made into a dessert by swapping out cheese for a dollop of Nutella or your favorite thick, sweet spread.
Feel free to use storebought, frozen, defrosted pizza dough instead of croissant rolls.
For gluten-free bunny bread you can absolutely use gluten-free pizza dough.
For additional flavor, try brushing the uncooked, assembled bunny bread with melted butter, finely minced garlic and fresh herbs.
