Be the first to Here's a neat idea for a Halloween sweet bread, using bread dough and decorations.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- .
- Suggested decorations
- raisins and small candies
- marshmallows
- licorice
- fruit roll-ups
Preparation:
Melt butter. Shape the bread dough into a disc. Cut horizontally almost all the way
through, leaving about 1/4" uncut along one side. Open, brush with half
the butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Close and press edges
together. Roll into l0-inch circle. Put on a baking sheet, cover and let rise
about 30 minutes. Use scissors to cut holes for a mouth and eyes. Push crumpled up
foil into holes to keep them from closing. Cut deep gashes into top of head for
spiky hair. Press raisins into dough to make eye brows. Brush with
remaining butter. Bake at 350° until bread sounds hollow when tapped, about 35 to 45
minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until lightly browned, about 5
minutes.
Decorate with candy while bread is still warm. use licorice for spiky hair, marshmallows for eyes, with some type of round candy on top so actually the marshmallows are the white of the eyes; the fruit roll-ups can used for the tongue and ears.
