Little Miss Bento

I recently bought these large animal bread molds and decided to use it to bake some kawaii bread to enjoy for my breakfast. 

I used the bunny cutter (see pink one below) to make the rabbit bread buns – aren’t they cute! For some, I also combined the use of the body cutter of Cutezcute’s Cuddle Palz to make a full body bunny. I loved the end result of the full body bunny too!:)

It was really convenient to use the big animal bread molds since I made the bread last night and did not want to spent too much time molding the bread.

The cutters come in a set of 3 shapes: rabbit, bear and pig. They comprise of the outer shapes as well as the inner features of the characters. I used the bunny one this time. There is also a recipe at the back of the pack (have yet to try it) and nice pictorial guide on how to use the cutters. 

Also really happy to use the Panasonic Bread Maker again, so that I can make the bread dough easily and quickly too.

If you don’t have a bread maker, just place all in the ingredients in a large mold, mix well. Then transfer to your work top to knead for about 15mins or until the dough is smooth and stretchy. Cover and let it rise for about 60mins until doubled in size. Then divide the dough into 6-7 even balls. Cover and let it rest for 2nd rise (10mins). Roll them out to make the same rabbit cut outs as this recipe. Cover the rabbit bread and rest for 10mins before baking.
