My grandma always told me the trick to great bread shapes was taking your time - rush and you'll end up with tough buns.
Ways To Serve
Make these buns the star of your Easter table by setting them on a wooden board with some spring flowers and greenery. They're best warm with some butter and honey on the side. You might try a breakfast spread with colored eggs, fruit, and flowers too. Pop them on vintage dishes with herbs around for a fancy touch.
Fun Twists
Jazz up these easy buns by playing with different looks and tastes. Maybe mix herbs into your dough, or shape them like other animals for fun. You could add cheese for a savory kick, or brush them with sweet honey butter. Try making colored versions with natural food dyes, or sprinkle seeds on top for crunch.
Keeping Them Fresh
Keep your buns tasty by storing them right. They're best fresh from the oven, but will stay good in sealed containers for a day. Warm them up quickly before eating. If you want to plan ahead, freeze the shaped dough and bake straight from frozen. Keep decorated ones in their own container so the designs stay nice.
