"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Soften yeast in warm water. Combine next 4 ingredients. Cool till lukewarm. Stir in 2 c. flour; beat well. Add eggs, mix well. Stir in yeast. Add lemon or orange juice and peel and remainder of flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead till smooth and elastic (about 5 to 10 minutes). Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the surface. Cover and let rise till double (about 2 hours). Punch down. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. To shape twist bunnies: Divide dough into 30 pieces. Shape each piece into 14-inch strip of dough. On lightly greased baking sheet, lap one end of strip over other to form loop; now bring end that's underneath up over top end, letting one end extend to each side to make ears. Pat tips to shape in a point. Roll small ball of dough for tail; place atop dough at bottom of loop. Let bunnies almost double before you put them in the oven (45 - 60 minutes). Bake at 375º for 12 to 15 minutes. Frost while warm with Sugar Glaze.

Sugar Glaze: To 2 c. powdered sugar, add 1/4 c. hot water and 1 t. butter; mix till well blended. Brush over Hopping Bunnies.
