Hedgehogs

Whether you are accommodating a fussy eater, planning a children’s party, or just want to prepare something different for the lunch boxes, you could try baking (bread) hedgehogs!
Just use your existing bread recipe, one from a cookbook, or my personal favorite, out of the box mix! The only extra ingredients needed is a handful of raisins. Once the dough has been prepared, take a small amount and roll it into a ball and place it on your baking sheet. Carefully mold the dough ball into more of an egg shape, and then place 2 raisins on the smaller part of the hedgehog body to form the eyes. Now with a scissors, make small, randomly positioned cuts on the larger part of the hedgehog's body which will form the spikes.

Place your hedgehogs in the oven and bake per your recipe’s instruction. Once baked, remove from the oven and place on a cooling tray and Ta Daa...your child's new favorite food!
