These are my favorite. A snowflake roll is a light and airy roll with a slight chew to it. Melt some butter in the middle of these warm. They are so good. My daughter and I could consume 3-4 at a meal. Quick to make for a yeast roll. I used to buy these at a local bakery. Until I discovered how easy they were to make. If you like a nice soft roll. These are it. This recipe was given to me by a good friend. Before you begin, use bread flour for a soft chewy roll. Use all-purpose for a soft roll. To get results in between, I use 1/2 bread and 1/2 all-purpose. There is more gluten in bread flour.

Step 2

Heat water,milk,and butter in a saucepan until warm (not hot). keep on warm. Get a large bowl and combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, salt, yeast, and sugar. Mix them all together really well.
Step 3

add the warm butter mixture to the flour mixture. Get your hand held mixer and mix on medium for a couple of minutes,then gradually add more of the remaining 2 cups of flour a little at a time. Keep adding the flour until you get a soft dough to handle by adding a little flour at a time and mixing well.
Step 4

Once your dough is easy to handle. Put on a well floured surface, and knead for 5-7 minutes. Put in a greased bowl. Turn dough to get the dough greased all the way around. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
Step 5

Take dough and put on floured board. Cut the dough in to equal size pieces. Shape in to rolls by rolling them with hand on floured surface..
