How to Make Snowflake Bread

1. Mix the Dough Base

Combine high-gluten flour, dry yeast, Ship Brand Raw Cane Sugar, egg, and milk. Mix until the ingredients come together into a smooth dough.

Raw Cane Sugar enhances dough elasticity and supports steady fermentation, giving the bread a softer, more tender crumb.

2. Add Butter and Develop Gluten

Add softened butter and salt, then knead until the dough reaches the windowpane stage.
A smooth, stretchy dough ensures the bread will rise evenly and have a pillowy texture.

3. First Proof

Cover and let the dough rise until doubled in size.
Press lightly—if the indentation stays without bouncing back, the fermentation is perfect.

4. Divide and Rest

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
Let them rest for 20 minutes so the gluten relaxes, making shaping easier.

5. Layer with Green Plum Filling

Roll each ball into a round sheet. Spread a thin layer of green plum filling and stack all four layers.
The fruity aroma blends beautifully with the soft dough.

6. Shape the Snowflake

Roll the stacked dough into a large 22 cm round.
Use a cutter to mark the center, then slice into 16 equal strips.
Twist every two strips in opposite directions and pinch the ends—creating the signature snowflake pattern.

7. Second Proof

Let the shaped dough rise again for 30 minutes.
Dust lightly with flour for a snowy, festive effect.

8. Bake to Perfection

Bake at 160°C for about 12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
As it bakes, the aroma will fill the kitchen with warmth and holiday cheer.
