• kidney-bean shape on a greased baking sheet. Using a sharp knife,
• cut several 1-1/2- to 2-inch slits on the rounded left side of the
• body, forming the tail feathers.
• Shape the remaining small portion of dough into two 7-1/2-inch ropes
• for legs. Place legs below the body. Bend left leg at a 90°
• angle 2-1/2- inches from the bottom, forming a foot. Using a sharp
• knife, make a 1-inch cut on each foot for toes.
• Divide the remaining large portion of dough into three pieces. Roll
• two pieces together to form the heat. Divide the third piece into
• thirds. shape two of the pieces together into a 2-1/2-inch-long
• neck. Roll remaining piece into a 7-inch rope for beak. Fold rope
• in half.
• Position the neck, head and beak on baking sheet, pinching the dough

• and let it rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 30
• minutes.
• In a bowl, combine the egg and water. Brush over dough. Bake at
• 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove bread to a
• wire rack to cool completely. Transfer to the covered board. Make a
• bow with the 1-1/2-inch-wide novelty print ribbon and tie around the
• stork's neck.
• PACIFIERS: Dip one end of each chocolate graham into melted chips and
• attach a Life Saver. Dip one end of a jelly bean into chips and
• place in the Life Saver's hole. If desired, used melted chips to
• attach cake-decorating sprinkles to each graham.

• beak, attaching a pacifier at the same time. Arrange remaining
• pacifiers around stork on the serving board. Yield: 1 stork bread
