Put the flour in a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and a large pinch of salt. Make a well in the centre, pour in 175ml warm water and the oil and bring together with a wooden spoon to make a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-8 mins until smooth. Divide the dough into four balls and arrange on a floured tray, well spaced apart. Cover with a tea towel and set aside for about 40 mins-1 hr until doubled in size.

Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8 and put a baking tray in the oven to heat up. Roll the dough balls out on a floured surface into long baguette sticks about 22-25cm long, place on the hot tray and bake for 10-12 mins until puffed up and golden, then leave to cool. Can be made a few hours ahead of baking.

To assemble, split the bread down one side and neatly layer in the tomato, ham, mozzarella and rocket, if using. Mix the pesto with the olive oil, drizzle over, halve and serve.

Put both the flours into a large bowl and whisk them to break up any clumps. Add the egg yolks and a little of the milk to the flour and whisk to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk, a splash at a time, to loosen the batter.

In a separte bowl, whisk the egg whites with an electric whisk until they hold stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter with a spatula, trying to keep as much air in as possible. 

Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Using a dessert or serving spoon, add a large spoon of batter to the pan in a round, for the bunny body. Add a smaller round for the head, two small ovals for feet, and two long thin pancakes for ears. You should be able to get all the bunny components into the pan, or cook them in batches. 

Flip the pancakes after a minute or two, when the edges are set and the bubbles start to pop on the surface. Flip and cook for another min until golden brown on both sides. 

Put the bunny body in the middle of the plate, position the head, ears and feet just overlapping to look like the back of a bunny. Add a banana slice for the tail, and raisins (if using) for the feet pads. 

Repeat with the remaining batter. Decorate with extra chopped fruit, if you like.
