Ingredients
- 300 grams whole wheat flour
- 100 grams soy protein isolate
- 10 grams instant yeast
- 30 grams ground flaxseed
- 250 milliliters warm water (approximately 110°F/45°C)
- 30 milliliters olive oil
- 20 grams honey
- 5 grams salt
- 20 grams pumpkin seeds (optional)
- 5 grams black sesame seeds (optional, for bunny eyes)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, soy protein isolate, instant yeast, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir until combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a spatula or dough hook attachment until a sticky dough forms.
Step 4
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead with the dough hook on medium speed for 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 7
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a bunny by forming a round body and a small ball for the tail. Use black sesame seeds to create eyes.
Step 8
Optionally, press pumpkin seeds onto the back of the bunnies for an added texture and flavor.
Step 9
Place the shaped bunnies on the prepared baking sheet, cover loosely with a clean towel, and let rise again for about 15-20 minutes.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 11
Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
