Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl, then cut in the butter, rubbing with your fingertips until crumbs are formed
Mix the milk and water together then add to the dough, combining with your hands until the dough comes together. Work for 20 minutes on a floured surface until the dough becomes elastic
Return the dough to the bowl, cover with a slightly damp cloth and leave to double in size, around an hour, an hour and a half
Gluten Free Directions - Put 250ml milk, the honey and oil in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute or heat in a small pan until warmed. Add to the dry ingredients and form the dough - if it's too dry add extra warmed milk. Continue with the rest of the directions (one rise then bake)
Punch the dough down on a floured surface and split into 8 balls. Flatten them slightly with your palm then set on baking paper on a baking sheet. Cover with the cloth again and leave another hour to rise again
Preheat the oven to gas 7 / 220C / 425F OR gas 6 / 200C / 400F for the gluten-free rolls
Using a pair of sharp kitchen scissors, snip twice on top of one end of each roll to make the bunnies ears and poke the scissors in to make eyes underneath
Dust the tops with a little flour and glaze the gluten-free ones with some extra milk then bake for around 10 - 12 minutes (15 - 20 for gluten-free) or until golden and cooked through
Let cool on a wire rack then enjoy with soup or spread with butter!
These are so cute I had to share! They were on a Facebook page but the bread recipe is my own
