Meet the cutest loaf i’ve ever made 🐰🍞✨ I present to you: sourdough bunny bread — and yes, she is as fun to make as she looks. This little guy is honestly easier than it looks. I used a lower hydration recipe so it was easier to shape and handle. Make sure to cold proof so it’s nice and firm before shaping into a bunny! Recipe below!
Bread recipe:
🌾 385g bread flour
🌾 50g whole wheat flour
💧 320g warm water
🧂 10g salt
🥄 100g active starter
🌸 Save this for your holiday baking lineup — your family will LOVE it!!!!

Sourdough Bunny 🌷🐇
This is the perfect addition to any Easter meal! I like to half my sourdough recipe when I make the bunny because it is a little easier for me to handle the dough, but you could totally make it with a regular sized loaf! I have found that to prevent the tail and ears from burning, I like to bake this loaf about 2 minutes less than a regular loaf.

My first attempt at the viral Sourdough Easter Bunny! 🐰 Check out my go-to basic recipe below. If you try your hand at a bunny (or any loaf!), tag me so I can see your creations!
The Recipe
125 g Active Starter
500 g Bread Flour
325 g Water
10 g Salt
My Baking Method
I baked this in a Dutch oven to get that perfect “bunny” spring:
Mix: Combine starter and water, then add flour and salt.
Fold: Perform stretch and folds every 30 minutes for 2 hours.
Rise: Let the dough bulk ferment until doubled.Shape your main dough into a ball. Cold proof in the fridge overnight.
Shape: Use kitchen shears to snip the ears and add a small dough ball for the tail!
Preheat: Get your oven and Dutch oven hot!
Initial Bake: Bake at 450°F for 30 minutes (lid on) to trap the steam.
The Finish: Remove the lid, reduce the heat to 420°F, and bake for about 10 more minutes.
The Goal: Pull it out once the internal temperature hits 205°F. #easterbunny #sourdoughbunny #sourdoughbread #breadart

After many people sent me the reel I decided it was time to try this bunny sourdough loaf, especially since Easter is on the way.
My review:
1. It’s harder to cut than shown.
2. The outcome is chewy with a tighter crumb. The onion bacon loaf was easier to eat (gluten less strong), so if you still wanna try it I would suggest additions which increase fat (oil) or hydration (water, like the onion).
Either way, my artsy mind says it’s probably worth a try just once, just for fun !
