Directions for Bird Rolls for Mother's Day Brunch

Step 1

Dissolve yeast in warm milk in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter, brown sugar, egg, salt and flour. Mix until smooth.

Step 2

Stir in enough more flour if needed until soft dough is formed. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead six to eight minutes until smooth.

Step 3

Place in a greased bowl. Turn once to grease top. Cover with a dish towel and set rise in a warm place about one hour until the dough is doubled.

Step 4

Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into eight equal balls.

Step 5

Roll each ball into a rope. Tie into a knot. Pinch one end of the rope to form a beak. Flatten the other end and slice slits for a feathered tail. Place two peppercorns above each beak to create eyes.

Step 6

Place two inches apart on greased baking sheet. Set in a warm, dry place and let rise about 30 minutes until doubled. Brush with beaten egg white.

Step 7

Bake at 350 F 15 minutes or until golden brown. Place on wire racks to cool. Serve warm with butter or jam.
