Activate the yeast

• In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar and dry yeast.
• Let it rest until foamy.

Make the dough

• Add the egg and the melted but not hot butter, then mix well.
• Add the flour in two additions, mixing after each.
• Knead the sticky dough with your hands.

First proof

• Cover the dough and let it proof in a warm place until doubled.

Shape the snowflake

• Divide the dough into halves and roll each half into two identical large circles.
• Place one circle on the lined baking tray and spread the cherry jam over it, leaving a small border.
• Cover with the second circle and press the edges to seal.
• Place a cup in the center and cut 16 lines from the cup outwards.
• Curve and stick the strips together to form 8 snowflake curls.

Second proof

• Let the shaped bun proof until slightly puffed.

Bake

• Brush the bun with beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 180 °C until golden brown.

Finish

• Let it cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar.
