  1. Remove frozen lye rolls from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for about 20 minutes until they are just soft.
  2. Cut each roll lengthwise without fully severing, cross the right half over the left to create bunny ears.
  3. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) and ensure enough space between bunnies on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown; add an extra 5 minutes for a crispier texture.
