Snowflakes

Try this recipe for making snowflakes-a twist on the traditional paper ones you fold and cut-using bread dough in place of paper. After snipping the snowflake you bake it and simply dust it with powdered sugar. Snowflakes are a sweet crunchy treat that are great with cider or hot chocolate after skating or sledding.

List of Ingredients

1 cup water
3 cups white bread flour
2 tablespoons dry milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon fast rise yeast




Recipe

Prepare the dough using your bread machine's dough cycle. On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a 6 circle. Dust both sides of each circle with flour. Fold each circle in half and then in half again. Use a scissors to cut out small pieces of dough. Unfold the snowflake onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 F for 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Brush warm snowflakes with melted butter, when cool dust with powdered sugar.
