# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
06 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 large egg, room temperature
→ Filling
08 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
09 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
→ Icing
11 - 1 cup powdered sugar
12 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
13 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# Steps:
01 - In a large bowl, combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy.
02 - Add melted butter, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
03 - Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
05 - Punch down the risen dough and divide into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch circle.
06 - Place one dough circle on the prepared baking sheet. Spread half the softened butter over the surface, then sprinkle with half the cinnamon sugar mixture (light brown sugar and cinnamon).
07 - Top with the second dough circle. Spread remaining softened butter and sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over it.
08 - Place the third dough circle on top.
09 - Place a small glass in the center of the stacked circles. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 16 equal strips radiating outwards without cutting through the center.
10 - Take two adjacent strips and twist them away from each other twice, then pinch the ends together to form a point. Repeat with all pairs to shape the snowflake.
11 - Remove the glass from the center. Cover the snowflake with a towel and let it rise for 15 minutes.
12 - Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
13 - Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to form icing. Drizzle evenly over the warm snowflake and serve pull-apart style.
