Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, and a pinch of salt. Gradually stir in warm milk and melted unsalted butter until a soft dough forms. Add the egg and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Filling
  1. Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread softened butter over the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and granulated sugar.
Shaping
  1. Cut the rolled dough into strips about 2 inches wide. Layer and twist two strips together into a snowflake shape. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat.
Proofing
  1. Cover the shaped bread with plastic wrap or a towel. Allow it to rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the snowflake bread for 25 minutes or until golden brown and the center is soft.
Glazing
  1. While warm, mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the bread.
