My daughter especially enjoyed helping me in the kitchen with this project. It’s a lot like cooking with Playdoh – except you can eat it when you’re done. She made the cutest baby bread hippos. The trick is to not overwork the dough. Just roll the different pieces, align them on your baking sheet, and let them rise together. You’ll be surprised when you see how big they bake up.
These would be a fun winter cooking craft. You could even bake them and freeze a bunch to use later at a special dinner party or for family soup night. Now that I think about it, one of these bread hippos would look pretty funny wading in a bowl of chili.
