Can brioche bunnies be made in advance?

Yes! Since the recipe uses commercial yeast, the dough can rise overnight in the fridge. There is no need to let it come to room temperature, just knock down the dough and begin shaping. Let the bunnies proof on the parchment-lined baking sheet for 60 minutes before doing the egg wash step.

Can I use store-bought flour?

Yes! If you don't have fresh flour, you can use store-bought whole grain Spelt flour. The recipe also works well with white cake flour if you don't want to go the whole grain way. You can skip the autolyse step when using store-bought flour.

Do I need to do the extra tangzong step?

If you use whole grain or fresh flour, I highly recommend adding the tangzhong, as it really makes a world of difference. If you use white flour you can skip it and still get a soft, pillowy result.

Can I use a different ancient grain?

Spelt is notorious for binding less water than other grains. So if you want to use a different (ancient) grain, you may want to add more milk or water to the dough. Assess the dough after you added the instant yeast and tangzhong paste. If it feels tough, add more water, one tablespoon at a time until it feels soft and pliable.
