Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
½ cup baking soda (for boiling)
Coarse sea salt (for topping)
4 tbsp butter (melted for brushing)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix warm water and sugar, then sprinkle yeast over it. Let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
Gradually add flour and salt until soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth (about 5 minutes).
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Punch down dough, divide into pieces, and roll into long ropes. Twist into bunny shapes.
Boil water with baking soda in a large pot. Boil each bunny for about 30 seconds before transferring to a baking sheet.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
