HONEY BUNNIES (ROLLS)

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine 1/2 cups flour, undis-solved yeast, and salt.
• Heat evaporated milk, water, honey, and butter until warm (105° to 115°F).
• Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
• Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed.
• With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Might need a little extra.
• Place in greased bowl. Grease top; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
• Remove dough from refrigerator; punch down. Remove to floured surface. Divide dough into 15 equal pieces. Roll each to 20-inch rope. Divide each rope into 1 (12-inch), 1 (5-inch), and 3 (1-inch) strips.
• Coil 12-inch strip to make body; coil 5-inch strip to make head. Attach head to body; pinch to seal. Shape remaining 3 strips into ears and tail and attach to body and head.
• Place on 2 large greased baking sheets. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 20 to 40 minutes.
• Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from sheets to wire racks. Brush with Honey Glaze while warm. Insert raisins for eyes. If desired, brush again with glaze before serving.
• Honey Glaze: Combine 1/4 cup honey and 1/8 cup butter in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until butter melts, stirring occasionally.

HONEY-GLAZED BUNNY ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat milk with honey, stirring, over low heat just until lukewarm and remove pan from heat. Stir in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add butter and yolks, whisking until combined well.
• Transfer milk mixture to bowl of a standing electric mixer (or to a large bowl, if kneading by hand). Add flour and salt gradually to milk mixture, stirring until incorporated. With dough hook, knead dough until smooth, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, dough may be kneaded by hand on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 10 to 15 minutes.)
• Transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat with oil. Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in refrigerator overnight, or until doubled in bulk. (Alternatively, dough may be allowed to rise in a warm place about 2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.)
• Grease 2 baking sheets. Punch down dough and divide into 12 pieces. Form each piece into an egg shape and transfer pieces to prepared baking sheets. Form a bunny tail on each piece by holding scissors, points down, perpendicular to baking sheet and making a 1/2-inch-long snip at base of wide end. Form 2 bunny ears on each piece by making a narrow 2-inch-long snip on each side, starting near wide end and cutting toward narrow end. Form eyes on each piece by making 2 holes in narrow end with a wooden pick and pressing a currant half firmly into each hole with pick.
• Brush half of warm glaze on rolls and let rise, covered loosely with plastic wrap, in a warm place 45 minutes or less, or until doubled, in bulk (rising will take longer if dough is cold).
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat remaining glaze over low heat just until warm and brush rolls. Bake rolls in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets in oven halfway through baking, 20 minutes, or until golden, and transfer to racks to cool.
• Serve rolls warm or at room temperature.
• In a small saucepan, heat glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Remove pan from heat and keep glaze warm, covered.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8" x 8" square cake pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, cake mix, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth. Divide into 6 small bowls and tint each one with a different color.
• Place bread dough on a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into a rectangle, ⅛-inch thick and 13" x 10".
• Spread each rainbow filling across dough in separate stripes, length-wise, getting as close to the edges as possible. Starting with the long, red side of the rectangle, roll the dough up into a log.
• Use a sharp knife or serrated bread knife to carefully slice the log into 9 equal portions. Transfer to prepared cake pan, placing rolls cut side up, 3-by-3. Transfer to oven and bake until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make glaze. Add confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, adding more milk if necessary to reach a consistency that is thick but pourable.

HAWAIIAN SWEET ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat pineapple juice over medium-low temperature until juice reaches about 105°F.

• Switch from the paddle attachment to the dough hook, and add 3 cups of flour. Stir on low.
• Continue adding flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough clears the sides of the bowl. The dough will feel slightly sticky. It takes 5 1/2 cups of flour for my rolls.
• Once the dough comes together and clears the sides, continue to knead for about 1 minute.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and let it rise until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Shape dough into rolls. If you would like smaller, dinner-sized rolls, shape into 24 rolls. If you would like larger, bun-sized rolls, shape into 12-18 rolls depending on desired size.
• Cover rolls with plastic wrap, and let rolls rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Toward the end of the second rise, preheat oven to 350°F.

SWEET ROLLS

Steps:

• Let milk come to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Add 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Cool. Soften yeast in warm water. Stir into milk mixture. Pour into large mixing bowl. Add flour, a little at a time, to liquid mixture. Beat well. Turn out onto floured board. Allow to sit 15 minutes. Knead until smooth and satiny.
• Place dough into a greased bowl. Turn over once. Cover with a cloth. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Roll out dough on floured board to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into three 8-inch squares (they don't have to be perfect squares). Work with 1 square at a time. Brush each square with melted butter.
• Mix 1 cup sugar with cinnamon (if necessary,you may have to make more sugar/cinnamon mixture.) Sprinkle most of this mixture generously over entire surface of each square. Starting at one side of each square, roll into a tube. Continue rolling back and forth, until 12 to 18 inches long. Repeat with other 2 squares. Cut each tube into wheels about 1/2-inch wide. Place wheels onto a baking sheet that has been brushed with melted butter and sprinkled well with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place them so that they touch. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with more cinnamon-sugar mixture. Let stand, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour to rise again.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 18 to 20 minutes. (You can refrigerate rolls, covered, and then bring back to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.).
