Instructions

  1. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 172647 img 7617

    Whisk together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Remove a quarter of the mixture and place in a separate bowl. Whik the cocoa to the first bowl.

  2. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190031 img 7618

    Mix the yeast and mazola oil into the warm water.

  3. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190153 img 7619

    Create a well in the middle of each bowl of flour and three quarters of the water into the cocoa bowl and one quarter into the smaller bowl. Mix together both to knead into a thick dough.

  4. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190410 img 7628

    Cover and leave the doughs to rise for an hour.

  5. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190444 img 7629

    Knead the doughs again, divide into two and roll into two logs. Cut each log into 6 pieces. Do the same for the plain dough.

  6. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190517 img 7630

    Roll each dough piece into a ball and flatten into a disc. Place on a square of parchment paper and place a spoonful of peanut butter in the middle.

  7. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190556 img 7631

    Fold the dough in half and form the top corners into bear ears. Repeat to make the other bears.

  8. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190621 img 7632

    Brush the bears with a little mazola oil.

  9. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190904 img 7633

    Separate each of the plain dough balls into two and roll one half into a circle, flatten and place on the bear for a muzzle.

  10. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190937 img 7634

    Use the other half to make two small ears.

  11. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 190950 img 7635

    Use an edible marker pen to draw faces on each of the bears.

  12. Small 109292 2f2015 06 14 191013 img 7637

    Steam each bear for 8 minutes and serve or freeze to eat later. To re-heat the bears, steam for 3 minutes.
