If baking makes you as happy as a hopping bunny – then welcome to the club! The Zero-Waste Tupperware® Club comes with a new recipe that is not only delicious but zero-waste, traditional and vegan friendly. Get ready to get your hands in the dough with these Easter Bunny-Buns

PRO TIP:
Proofing your dough is like doing a magic tick: It raises and doubles its size thanks to only yeast, water and natural chemical reactions! To make sure that we let the magic do its work, we must leave the dough in a bowl that is, at least twice the size of the dough, cover it with a clean cloth and leave to rest in a warm environment.
