Recipe for teddy bear buns
Festive Teddy Bear Buns for the Children’s Birthday Party.
Raisin buns are a guaranteed hit at any children’s birthday party, and when they take the shape of the cutest little teddy bear buns, the kids’ excitement goes through the roof. A perfect way to add a splash of color to the party.
The recipe is based on the cool birthday buns I made for my son Frederik’s birthday party.

Teddy Bear Buns
Ingredients
- 400 gram Milk Fingertip temperature
- 50 gram Yeast
- 30 gram Sugar
- 3 gram Salt
- 90 gram Oil
- 800 gram Flour I used regular wheat flour
- 30 pcs. Raisins
Instructions
- Pour the milk into a bowl – possibly for your stand mixer.
- Crumble the yeast into the milk.
- Add sugar, salt, and oil.
- Mix the dough with the stand mixer or by hand.
- Add flour gradually until the dough releases from the bowl but is still a bit sticky.
- Cover the dough with a cloth and let rise for about twenty minutes.
- Then shape the risen buns:
- Take 3/4 of the dough and shape it into 10 base buns.
- Take the remaining quarter of the dough and shape 20 smaller balls (for ears) and 10 slightly larger balls (for the teddy bears’ snouts).
- Attach ears and snout to each base bun.
- Decorate each teddy bear bun with raisins for eyes and nose (see picture).
- Let the buns rise again for about 60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees Celsius (437 degrees Fahrenheit) conventional.
- Bake the teddy bear buns for 10-12 minutes – it depends on your oven.
- Remove the buns and let them cool on a rack.
