We first saw a picture of these adorable little Easter Chick buns on Pinterest.
Detirmined to learn more, we eventually found the original image and recipe from a blog that's published in Bulgarian.
Google Translate helped us get an idea of the recipe:
Basic dough:
- 330g flour (sifted)
- 50g sugar
- 30-40 g soft butter (room temp)
- 15-20 g fresh yeast
- 125ml warm milk
- pinch of salt
Glaze:
- egg yolk with a few drops of milk
Eyeballs:
- nuts, pepper, raisins, cloves etc.
Knead the dough and leave covered for half an hour. Shape dough into individual 70g balls. Form into bird shapes as directed in the video. Place on a tray lined with baking paper and brush each roll with glaze. Bake at 200-220 ° C until golden.
