Cinnamon Roll Snowflake Recipe – A Festive Treat to Warm Your Holidays

In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

Add melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm area for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl until a spreadable paste form

1. Divide the dough into four equal parts.
   
   
2. Roll out the first piece into a 10–12-inch circle and place it on parchment paper. Spread a third of the filling on top.
   
   
3. Repeat with the next two layers, ending with the final layer of dough on top (no filling on this one).
   
   
4. Place a small round object (like a glass) in the center. From the outer edge of the center circle, cut the dough into 16 equal strips.
   
5. Twist two adjacent strips away from each other twice, then pinch ends together to form a “petal.” Repeat for all strips.

Cover the shaped snowflake with a towel and let it rise for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm bread or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
