Bunny Bento Lunch Box with Bunny Rolls


We love our themed lunchboxes, and with Easter just around the corner, it's the perfect excuse for a bunny themed box.

I made some cute bunny bread rolls which are super easy to make.

Ingredients:


  • 260g strong white bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried yeast
  • 150 ml warm water
  • 1 egg yolk (to glaze)


Mix up all the dough ingredients using a dough hook on your mixer if you have one - or by hand.
Leave in the bowl and cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Divide into 8 equal pieces.  From each piece, snip off a small section from the corner to make the tail.
Roll each large piece between your hands to make a long sausage shape.  Roll the small piece into a ball.
Wrap the sausage around the tail, crossing over at the top to form the ears.
Place on a greased tray.
Cover with a towel again and leave to prove for 20 minutes.  Preheat the oven to 200 degrees c.
Brush with beaten egg yolk.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.  They should sound hollow to tap underneath.



For the rest of the box, we had some fun on the bunny theme:

Carrot cake
Popcorn 'cotton tails'
Carrots (trimmed and topped with parsley 'leaves')
Bunny whoopsies (raisins)
Orange coloured waxed cheese
Bunny dip (hummus)
Bunny bread roll


What will you put in your Easter lunchbox?
