Making Cinnamon Sugar Easter Bunny Twists is both simple and enjoyable. Follow these steps for a delightful experience:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. Stir in the instant yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes to activate.
2. Mix Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and stir until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Form the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare Filling: While the dough rises, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar in a small bowl to create a filling.
7. Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 1/2 inch thick).
8. Cut the Dough: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Then, cut the dough into long strips (about 1 inch wide).
9. Twist the Strips: Take each strip and twist it several times to form the bunny shape. Pinch the ends to secure them.
10. Second Rise: Place the twisted bunnies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for an additional 20 minutes.
11. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the bunnies rise.
12. Brush with Butter: Once risen, brush each bunny twist with melted butter to give them a nice golden color.
13. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown and cooked through.
14. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool for about 10 minutes, and enjoy warm. Optionally, sprinkle with decorative sprinkles or additional cinnamon-sugar if desired.
