Easterly Yeast Buns

One of my favourite traditions for easter is making yeast buns. They taste great and are very easy to make. This year, I wanted to pretty them up a little and decided to make a chicken family.

You need:

600 g / 5 cups of flour
120 g / 1/2 cup of sugar
60 g / 1/4 cup of butter
one package of fresh yeast
2 egg yolks
1/4 l / 8 fl. oz. of milk
some raisins

Mix all and let the dough rise.

Form a long roll and coil it to a circle, forming a body and neck with a head.

Differ the rolls length so you get a large rooster and chicken and small chicklets. Add details like a coxcomb or wings for the chicklets and use a raisin for each eye.

Bake 30 Minutes at 200 ° C/ 400 ° F

Enjoy!
