Bored of making rolls and wanting to branch off from braiding, I decided to make a teddy bear bread out of my lump of dough the other day. I make bread once or twice a week to go along with dinner. This was easier than making rolls and definitely a bigger wow factor for the kids!
I used my regular roll dough, it shouldn't matter what recipe you use. Divide the dough in half and make one half into the belly. Divide the half in half and make one half into the head. Divide what is left into 6 pieces and make the legs, arms, and ears. Proof, stick in raisins, egg wash, bake as usual. Fun!
