Description

Delightfully soft and beautifully decorated, these Snowflake Dinner Rolls are perfect for festive occasions or any meal that calls for an elegant touch. Made with Rhodes frozen bread roll dough and topped with a buttery snowflake design, these rolls combine simplicity with charm for a delicious and visually appealing bread.


Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 12 Rhodes frozen bread roll dough

Snowflake Topping

  • 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 tsp hot water
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan and Dough: Lightly spray a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Arrange the 12 frozen bread rolls evenly in the pan. Cover the pan and place it in a warm spot to allow the rolls to rise until they double in size, which typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Once the rolls have risen, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the bread rolls.
  3. Make the Snowflake Topping: In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened butter, hot water, and optional garlic powder. Mix until smooth and transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a #4 tip. Carefully pipe a snowflake design on top of each risen roll, adding a decorative and flavorful touch.
  4. Chill the Rolls: Place the pan with the decorated rolls in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to let the butter mixture firm up slightly, which helps maintain the intricate snowflake design during baking.
  5. Bake the Rolls: Put the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen Rhodes bread rolls directly without thawing to ensure proper rising and texture.
  • The garlic powder in the snowflake topping is optional but adds a subtle savory note.
  • Chilling the rolls after piping the snowflake design helps prevent the pattern from melting and losing its shape during baking.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
  • These rolls can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
