HOW TO MAKE CHEESY EASTER BUNNY PULL APART BREAD:

This is an easy, no yeast recipe with full details in the printable recipe card below.

Just unwrap the pizza dough, cut into squares, stuff with sliced string cheese and roll into balls.

The bunny is formed on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or cookie sheet.

We’re not concerned with back paws or front paws – just head (complete with face!) and ears. The bunny comes to life right on the pan!

Bake to golden brown, brush with melted garlic butter and dig in!

HOW TO SERVE:

This festive appetizer makes the perfect centerpiece – just add a small bowl of marinara or pesto for dipping and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing Easter bread that’ll disappear faster than chocolate eggs in a backyard hunt.

If you somehow end up with leftovers (as if!), store them in an airtight container and reheat for a few seconds in the micro.
